Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound- guided IJV and supraclavicular SCV cannulation in infants weighing less than 5 kg.
Patients, ages between 18-70 years, who require central venous catheter will be enrolled for the study. Central venous catheter will be inserted using patient's height formula by Seldinger technique. Anterioposterior chest radiography will be used to assess the correct tip position. Catheters that are below the carina more than 1 cm, will be pulled back for repositioning. Catheters that are above the carina more than 1 cm, will be changed by another catheter. The investigators aim to evaluate the formula for correct tip positioning for central venous catheters
After obtaining parental consent ultrasonographic evaluation of right internal jugular vein will be performed in pediatric patients undergoing elective surgeries between 0-2 years of age. The patients for whom central venous catheterization is indicated will be included. The success rates and outcomes of catheterization will be recorded.
Traditional teaching that suggests the ipsilateral nipple as the directional guide for needle advancement during Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) catheterization has weak grounds. The investigators attempt to validate this long-standing statement.
