Localisation of central vein using ultrasound for ease of venous line placement

Completed

• Conditions: Undergoing elective operation

• Registration Number: CTRI/2019/02/017491
• Lead Sponsor: Sumantra Sarathi Banerjee

Brief Summary

This is a pilot study where we will study 100 patients who will be posted for major surgery under general anaesthesia and will be requiring IJV cannulation. After induction of general anaesthesia the patient will be positioned in the usual manner for IJV access. The point of insertion of  IJV cannula will be marked by one of the investigators using the ultrasound machine and normal saline in a syringe. The cannula insertion will then be done following the mark without the ultrasound. He will note the no of insertions, re-directions and any complications such as carotid artery puncture. The actual usage time of the US machine will be recorded .
