Comparison of Transesophageal Echocardiography Probe as Surface Probe with Vascular Probe During Right Internal Jugular Vein Catheterization in Cardiac Surgeries.

Context: USG vascular probe and TEE probe can help during central venous catheterization (CVC) and can confirm the location of guide wire in the neck vessels. We proposed this study, as there are only few studies comparing between TEE probe as surface probe and USG vascular probe for right IJV cannulation.

Aims: To compare the TEE probe as a surface probe and USG vascular probe during right IJV catheterization in cardiac surgeries.
