 Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation - Medical Procedures - Medstudents
Cannulation of the internal jugular vein may be the method of choice to measure the central venous pressure because of the lower incidence of complications.
Insert the cannula through the needle into the internal jugular vein.
In penetrating wounds of the chest, the central venous catheter should be introduced on the same side as the penetrating injury.

 External Jugular Vein Cannulation
Much like the intraosseous route, the external jugular vein probably should not be used as a primary insertion site, but rescuers should think about external jugular vein cannulation sooner rather than later, especially in the cardiac arrest or acutely ill patient.
This is essentially the same technique that is used with other peripheral veins except the provider must keep in mind the special anatomical considerations.
Studies have demonstrated a significant delay in the arrival of a drug at the heart when peripheral IV sites are used for injection, even during effective chest compression.

 INTERNAL JUGULAR VEIN ACCESS FOR HEMODIALYSIS USING
The catheter was surgically placed either by a cut-down technique on the internal jugular vein, or via percutaneous cannulation, which is the preferred technique because it is simpler and avoids the need for neck incision.
All end-stage renal failure patients who had internal jugular vein silicon dual-lumen catheters with Dacron cuff (Kimal LTI products) placed over a three-year period, between 1994 and 1996, were the subject of this study.
Subclavian cannulation is no longer necessary or justified in patients with end-stage renal failure.

 Internal Jugular Vein:
In a clinical sense, the most crucial relationships are those with the carotid and vertebral arteries and, if a low approach to cannulation is used, the dome of the pleura.
- Inadvertent arterial puncture (usually of the internal carotid artery) and, less commonly, pneumothorax are two important complications of the right internal jugular approach.
These relationships are shown in a cross-sectional view in Figure 3.

Contraindications: The contraindications to surgery are few but would include a coagulopathy that has not been corrected and cardiac risks for the procedure that are believed to outweigh the benefits.
Future research should focus on better defining the precise incidence of IJ thrombosis, especially in critically ill patients.
Ultrasonographic findings include a dilated and incompressible vein, intraluminal clot (a late finding), and no response to the Valsalva maneuver (expected change in intraluminal volume secondary to enhanced venous return).
