Does circumferential adjustment of a 2D ultrasound probe position improve the identification of an optimal approach to the internal jugular vein compared to surface anatomy-based approaches in adults?
Circumferential adjustment of a 2D ultrasound probe around the neck allows for a superior approach to internal jugular vein cannulation by minimizing venoarterial overlap and maximizing venous target width.
Riopelle et al. (2005) conducted a cross-sectional in Internal jugular venous cannulation (n=107). Circumferential adjustment of ultrasound probe position vs. Four popular surface anatomy-based approaches was evaluated on Identification of a pathway from the skin to the IJV that minimizes venoarterial overlap while maximizing venous target width. Circumferential adjustment of an ultrasound probe position consistently identified an approach to the internal jugular vein superior to four surface anatomy-based approaches.
