Success of Internal Jugular Vein Catheterization

Factors Affecting Success of First Attempt in Ultrasonography-Guided Internal Jugular Vein Catheterization

Internal jugular vein cannulation can be performed with the blind technique under ultrasound (USG) guidance or using classical marker points. It has been shown that USG-guided interventions reduce the complication rate compared to the method performed with the blind technique (4%/13.5%). In addition, the initial entry success rate in the USG supported group is 65%. , this rate remained at 45% with the blind technique.

Although Pleth variability index monitoring is a noninvasive method, it is a technique that consistently predicts fluid sensitivity in patients under mechanical ventilation.

The aim of study is before applying USG guided catheterization; We think that by revealing the factors of the patient that are effective on the number of interventions, necessary measures can be taken for the success of catheterization as a result.
