Why the study?

Does any specific technique for locating the internal jugular vein improve successful cannulation rates or reduce carotid artery puncture compared to others?

Population

25 subjects undergoing simulated internal jugular vein cannulation using ultrasonography

Implication

Carotid pulse landmark may reduce arterial puncture risk; leaves optimal IJV cannulation technique open for prospective trials.

Structured PICO

Does any specific technique for locating the internal jugular vein improve successful cannulation rates or reduce carotid artery puncture compared to others?

P
Population
25 subjects undergoing simulated internal jugular vein cannulation using ultrasonography
I
Intervention
15 different techniques for localization of the internal jugular vein
C
Comparator
Comparison among the 15 techniques
O
Outcome
Successful puncture of the internal jugular vein (simulated)surrogate

No single technique is superior for internal jugular vein cannulation, but using the carotid pulse as a landmark reduces the risk of carotid artery puncture.
