Ultrasound guided central venous catheterization of internal jugular vein on over 65-year-od patients versus blind technique

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Performing a central venous catheterization (CVC) on older patients for long-term central intravenous therapy could be a very important procedure. It could be associated with a high incidence of related complications, especially on over 65-year-old, high risk, selected patients. METHODS: The authors analyzed the results of 72 central venous CVC of internal jugular vein performed on over 65-year-old patients with ultrasound (US) guide from January 1998 to April 2003. RESULTS: The average performing time was 4 min, with 98.7% of success, 0% of major complications, and 4.1% of minor complications (one mild vagal hypotension and two catheter dislocation). CONCLUSIONS:…

Vantaggi degli ultrasuoni nel posizionamento di un agocannula nella vena giugulare interna (nuove note di tecnica)

The authors analized the result of 175 central venous ca he- terization CVC. of internal jugular vein performed with the ultrasound guide (US) from January 1998 to October 2002. The average performing time was 45 minutes. 98.2% of success and 4% of complications (one pagal hypotension, one artery puncture, four catheter dislocation, one haeiuatoinai). The US guide CVC is a safe procedure with short performing time, low rate of failures and complications and high rate of success: it is helpful in all patients with vascular anatomical variations, with not visualized or Land marks and with coagulation disorders.

Comparasion of central venous catheterization with and without ultrasound guide

PURPOSE: To compare the effectiveness, safety and time needed to perform central venous catheterization (CVC) in the presence or absence of an ultrasound (US) guide. METHODS: Between January 1999 and February 2002 we performed CVCs in 196 patients: 105 patients received US guided CVC (group I) and 91 patients had CVC without US guide (group II). RESULTS: The average time to perform CVC was shorter with US guide (4 vs 7 min). The utilization of the US guide was also associated with improved success (98.09% vs 91.2%, p<0.025) and lack of major complications (0% vs 9.8%, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: US-guided CVC affords an easier, safer and more rapid cannulation of a central vein. It is especially…
