Comparison of US-Guided Catheterization of the Right Internal Jugular Vein Using Medial-Oblique and Short Axis Techniques

Abstract

Background: Although some investigations have shown higher rates of successful first attempt and fewer attempts by using ultrasound-guided Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) catheterization, arterial puncture is still common. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate US-guided catheterization of the right IJV via medial-oblique technique and also compare this technique to short-axis
