Assessment of head and neck position for optimal ultrasonographic visualisation of the internal jugular vein and its relation to the common carotid artery: a prospective observational study

Assessment of head and neck position for optimal ultrasonographic visualisation of the internal jugular vein and its relation to the common carotid artery: a prospective observational study

Background and Aims: There is a wide variation in the anatomical relationship of the Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) to the Common Carotid Artery (CCA). This makes landmark based techniques of IJV cannulation and head rotation questionable and may lead to accidental arterial puncture. We conducted this...
