Objectives: Various ultrasound (US)-guided probe positioning and needle procedures have been described in the literature for cannulation of the internal jugular vein (IJV). In the present study, we compared the conventional short-axis out-of-plane (SAX-OOP) method with a novel anteroposterior short-axis in-plane (APSAX-IP) technique for IJV cannulation under US guidance. The APSAX-IP method of IJV cannulation has not been compared to other IJV cannulation techniques.

Methods: A total of 104 patients above 18-year-old were randomly allocated to one of two groups - APSAX-IP or SAX-OOP and evaluated for US-guided IJV cannulation in either the operating room or critical care unit. The primary outcome of this research was the access time for IJV cannulation using both approaches. The secondary outcomes were the number of attempts of needle insertion, success rate, and complications of IJV cannulation.

Results: The access time for IJV cannulation was 13.0 (12.0-15.0) sec in the APSAX-IP group and 13.0 (12.0-14.0) sec in the SAX-OOP group; = 0.947. The number of successful 1 attempts was 90.91%, and the 2 attempts were 9.09% in the APSAX-IP group and 85.19% and 14.81% in the SAX-OOP group, respectively. Both techniques did not have any complications.

Conclusions: We conclude that the US-guided APSAX-IP IJV cannulation method has comparable access time to the SAX-OOP technique.

Sedillot's triangle (ST), formed between the sternal and clavicular heads of sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle, is often used as an anatomical landmark for internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation, but its reliability has been questioned. This cadaveric study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ST in locating IJV. Dissections were performed on 23 adult cadavers (46 sides).

Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly used for multiple clinical purposes. The internal jugular vein (IJV) is preferred among the most frequently used insertion sites due to its higher success rates and lower complication risks. Although CVC placement is generally considered a safe procedure, several complications have been reported.

Objective(s): Previous literature suggested the advantage of combined short-long axis (CSLA) technique to avoid posterior wall puncture during internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation. The purpose of this study is to define the best ultrasound-guided IJV cannulation technique regarding the success rate in the first trial of insertion, time to successful central line placement, number of attempts, procedural complications, and operator satisfaction.

Design: Single-blinded, prospective randomized clinical trial.
