Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Critical Care
  • Neurocritical Care
  • Vascular Access Procedures

Background:

  • Jugular bulb catheterization (JBC) offers cerebral venous access for targeted brain therapies.
  • Limited data exists on the procedural aspects of JBC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate the safety, efficacy, and procedural characteristics of JBC.
  • To analyze procedure time, success rates, and complications associated with JBC.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 123 patients undergoing JBC over 24 months in intensive care units.
  • Data collected included procedure time, number of punctures, success rate, and complications.
  • Catheter position confirmed by radiography; duration of catheter indwelling was recorded.

Main Results:

  • Mean procedure time was 15.6 minutes; median skin punctures were two.
  • Success rate was high, with 97% of cases successful on the first or second attempt.
  • Inadvertent carotid puncture occurred in 3%; 97% of catheters were correctly positioned. No other major complications were reported.

Conclusions:

  • The described JBC technique is safe and highly successful for cerebral venous access.
  • This method demonstrates favorable outcomes compared to existing literature and standard internal jugular catheterization.
  • JBC is a reliable option for brain-specific therapy titration in pediatric and adult critical care settings.
