The jugular access is best for the maintenance and patency of the catheter. The Seldinger technique guided by ultrasound seems to be the safest for catheter insertion. Five juveniles Chelonia mydas with fibropapillomatosis and an adult male leatherback turtle （Dermochelys coriacea） with altered buoyancy were sent to Santos Municipal Aquarium for rehabilitation. Turtles underwent catheterization of the jugular vein using the Seldinger technique with central venous polyurethane catheter monolumen 14 G to Dermochelys and 18 G for Chelonia, guided by ultrasound with 10 MHz transducer catheters were sutured to the skin and animals were subjected to fluid. In all turtles, the catheters were patency and were well established. There were no granulomatous reactions or related infections. The Dermochelys improved clinically after fluid resuscitation, and the catheter was removed one week after. In one Chelonia excision was 21% of its weight in tumors, and the animals received colloid catheter by enabling the mitigation of bleeding due to removal. The use of ultrasonography has enabled monitoring of all access as the patency of the catheter and fluid diffusivity.展开更多
