Implication

Carotid compression may trigger AV block and arrest; leaves open whether routine ECG monitoring is needed during IJV cannulation.

Key Points

To describe a case of cardiac arrest following a complication during internal jugular vein cannulation.
Manual compression of the common carotid artery was performed after cannulation complication.
Electrocardiographic monitoring was used to observe cardiac activity.
AV block progressed to cardiac arrest following the procedure.

Structured PICO

Population

Patient experiencing a complication of the posterior approach to the internal jugular vein

Intervention

Manual compression of the common carotid artery

Outcome

Progressive AV block and cardiac arrestsafety

Routine electrocardiographic monitoring is advocated during internal jugular vein cannulation due to the risk of AV block and cardiac arrest from carotid compression.
