I've never used a sheath. I use this procedure to place central venous catheters, hemodialysis catheters, pulmonary artery catheters, and have assisted with electrophysiological studies. In that context we have never used a sheath. The guidewire itself is used to insert the catheter or introducer. Perhaps your sheath is our introducer? When placing a central line, the line itself is placed over the wire. Also, I have never seen this used with chest tubes. I suspect we have a totally different way of doing things.

I understand now, we call them introducers. DocJohnny 15:21, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
How exactly is the Seldinger technique an improvement over earlier techniques? This article implies that earlier techniques use a "sharp trocar", which caused complications. But the Seldinger technique also uses a "sharp trocar", so I fail to see the improvement. Please make it more wp:obvious. -- 68.0.124.33 ( talk) 03:26, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
