External Jugular Venous Route for Central Venous Access: Our Experience in 563 Surgical Patients
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Objectives: Though external jugular vein is superficial, adequate sized, isolated from major neurovascular structures and its cannulation fairly simple and comfortable to patients, it is not commonly used. Internal jugular vein cannulation on the other hand is routinely used with reasonable success. This technique is not devoid of complications. In order to make the central venous cannulation safer, the author sought to explore the possibility of using external jugular venous route as the route of first choice to pass the vascular catheters. Design: A prospective observational study, Setting: Tertiary referral hospital

External jugular vein cutdown approach for chronic indwelling central venous access in cancer patients: A potentially useful alternative
BACKGROUND Cephalic vein (CV) cutdown approach for chronic indwelling central venous access device (CICVAD) placement has previously been shown to be technically feasible in 82% of cancer patients. No data are available as to the potential utilization of external jugular vein (EJV) cutdown approach in cancer patients when CV cutdown approach is not technically feasible. PATIENTS AND METHODS O...
متن کاملComparison Between Open and Ultrasonography Guided Venous Access Ports in Children with Malignancy
Background: Long-term central venous access is used in children for various reasons specially for delivering chemotherapy. Since vessels in children have smaller diameters, they are more prone to injury and complications such as thrombosis. Different methods are used for implantation of port-a-cath in children. We aimed to compare the complications of insertion of central venous access ports be...
متن کاملEliminating the "Pitfalls" of chronic indwelling central venous access device placement in cancer patients by utilizing a venous cutdown approach and by selectively and appropriately utilizing intraoperative venography
There are several very obvious and simple solutions for eliminating the "Pitfalls" and for minimizing the risk of occurrence of any perioperative complications associated with placement of chronic indwelling central venous access devices in cancer patients. The first is the utilization of a venous cutdown approach, such as the cephalic vein or the external jugular vein, which essentially elimin...
متن کاملA comparison of jugular and central venous pressure measurements during anaesthesia.
Simultaneous measurements of the jugular and right atrial venous pressures were made in 16 patients undergoing cardiac and vascular surgery to see whether the jugular veins were a reliable guide to central venous pressure. It was found that with the chest closed both the external and internal jugular veins on the right side provided a good guide. The vessels on the left side were less consisten...
متن کاملSkin fold technique for central venous catheter fixation; Comparison with conventional method for postopration infections
Background: Central Venous Catheters (CVCs) are used not only as a tool to access to central venous system, but also for hemodynamic monitoring, parenteral nutrition, chemotherapy and hemodialysis. The use of CVCs is associated with some complications notably infections that are troublesome both to patient and physician. We conducted this study to examine catheter fixation with skin fold techni...
