Evaluation of Demographic and Clinical Characteristics of the Patients Undergoing Surgery With Ultrasound in Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation Requiring Central Venous Catheter

Background and Aim:

 This study aimed to investigate the demographic and clinical information of patients undergoing surgery with ultrasound in internal jugular vein cannulation.

Methods & Materials :

After the approval of the plan in the ethics committee of Guilan University of Medical Sciences, this study was performed in the general surgery department of Razi Hospital in 2018 on 100 patients in need of central venous catheter implantation. The neck type (distance between the two designated areas) was entered in a special form made by the researcher and after the completion of the design, it was examined and statistically analyzed.

Ethical Considerations:

 This research ethically approved by the Ethics Committee of Guilan University of Medical Sciences (Code: IR.GUMS.REC.1396.20)

Results :

The mean age of the studied patients was 58.72±16.09 years. The anatomical and sonographic margins between the two Land Mark areas were higher in men VS women, but there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the other variables. (P>0.05).

Conclusion:

 The findings of this study show that catheterization of the internal jugular vein under the guidance of ultrasound was less access time and fewer complications.
