Accidental carotid artery catheterization during attempted central venous catheter placement: a case report.
More than 2.1 million central venous catheters are placed annually. While carotid artery cannulation is rare, its effects can be devastating. Anesthesia providers frequently work with central venous catheters in the perioperative setting. Therefore, it is imperative that they be able to identify and react appropriately to carotid artery injury both in preexisting central lines and those that th...

BACKGROUND Percutaneous cannulation of the internal jugular vein in infants is technically more difficult and carries a higher risk of carotid artery puncture than in older children and adults. In this prospective study, the authors tested their hypothesis that using an ultrasound scanner would increase the success of internal jugular cannulation and decrease the incidence of carotid artery pun...
متن کاملUltrasound evaluation of the anatomical characteristics of the internal jugular vein and carotid artery--facilitation of internal jugular vein cannulation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Literature review revealed major variations in the anatomic characteristics of the right internal jugular vein (IJV) and carotid artery (CA) by the use of the ultrasound machine. The purpose of this study is to examine the anatomical characteristics of the right IJV and CA and to evaluate the IJV cannulation outcomes by the standard ultrasound guided vs. ultrasound locali...
متن کاملAutomatic measurement of instantaneous changes in the walls of carotid artery with sequential ultrasound images
Introduction: This study presents a computerized analyzing method for detection of instantaneous changes of far and near walls of the common carotid artery in sequential ultrasound images by applying the maximum gradient algorithm. Maximum gradient was modified and some characteristics were added from the dynamic programming algorithm for our applications. Methods: The algorithm was evaluat...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation and iliac vein injury detected with bedside ultrasound
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has increased after 2009 pandemic H1N1 infection, and the ECMO related complications have also increased. Especially mechanical vessel injury due to catheter cannulation seems less frequency than other complications, but there is a risk of hemorrhagic shock requiring caution. We experienced a case of early detection of iliac vein injury by b...
