contents Rapid and reliable vascular access is critical in trauma and critical care. Central vascular catheterization enables high-volume resuscitation, hemodynamic monitoring, and advanced interventions like ECMO and REBOA. While peripheral access is common, central access is often necessary but requires specialized ultrasound-guided skills, posing challenges in prehospital settings. The complexity arises from deep target vessels and the precision needed for needle placement. Traditional techniques, like the Seldinger method, demand expertise to avoid complications. Despite its importance, ultrasound-guided central access is underutilized due to limited field expertise. While autonomous needle insertion has been explored for peripheral vessels, only semi-autonomous methods exist for femoral access. This work advances toward full automation, integrating robotic ultrasound for minimally invasive emergency procedures. Our key contribution is the successful femoral vein and artery cannulation in a porcine hemorrhagic shock model.
