Central Venous Cannulation of the Internal Jugular Vein Both With and Without Ultrasound Guidance in Iran

چکیده
We read with great interest the article recently published in your journal about central venous cannulation of the internal jugular vein using ultrasound (US)-guided and anatomical landmark (AL) techniques in Iran (1). In their study, Fathi et al. concluded that the AL technique is superior to the US-guided method in Iran. As you are aware, the physician’s skill is the most important confounder for this outcome; others include the procedure’s location and the patient’s condition.

متن کاملCentral Venous Cannulation of the Internal Jugular Vein Using Ultrasound-Guided and Anatomical Landmark Techniques
BACKGROUND Central venous cannulation is a current and important procedure used in the operating room and intensive care unit. Some studies have shown that the application of ultrasound-guided cannulation can improve the success rate of surgery, save time, reduce the number of required needlesticks, and mitigate many complications compared to anatomical landmark-guided cannulation. OBJECTIVES...
