Optimum length of needles for internal jugular vein cannulation

[Percutaneous cannulation of the internal jugular vein].

Two simple techniques for central venous cannulation by percutaneous puncture of the right internal jugular vein are described. They have been employed routinely for the last six months in all patients requiring central venous cannulation. No serious complications or difficulties have been encountered in a series of two hundred cases. The method allows free movement of the limbs postoperatively...

Ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein cannulation.

N Engl J Med 2010;362:e57. Copyright © 2010 Massachusetts Medical Society. overview Traditionally, internal jugular vein cannulation has been performed with the use of external anatomical landmarks and palpation to guide insertion of the needle into the vessel. However, depending on the operator’s experience and the patient’s anatomy, this procedure may be difficult or unsuccessful. Over the pa...

Ultrasound guidance for internal jugular vein cannulation: Continuing Professional Development.

PURPOSE The objective of this continuing professional development module is to describe the role of ultrasound for central venous catheterization and to specify its benefits and limitations. Although ultrasound techniques are useful for all central venous access sites, the focus of this module is on the internal jugular vein approach. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In recent years, several studies were p...

A complication of percutaneous cannulation of the internal jugular vein.

Reviews of the use of the technique of percutaneous cannulation of the internal jugular vein for central venous pressure monitoring have indicated that it is free from serious complications. A patient is reported here in whom the ascending cervical artery was damaged during attempted cannulation of the internal jugular vein prior to aortic valve replacement. Haemorrhage from this site after the...
