    Summary

    This study presents a specific internal jugular innominate vein cannulation technique using a needle-in-catheter unit. Complications were low, with over 62% of catheters remaining in place for over five days.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Medical Devices
    • Infection Control

    Background:

    • Internal jugular vein cannulation is a common medical procedure.
    • Ensuring safe and effective catheter placement is crucial for patient care.
    • Minimizing complications associated with central venous access is a priority.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a specific needle-in-catheter technique for internal jugular innominate vein cannulation.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this cannulation method.
    • To assess complication rates and catheter dwell times.

    Main Methods:

    • A needle-in-catheter unit was utilized for catheter advancement.
    • Catheter placement was confirmed via chest X-ray.
    • Catheter tips were cultured for bacterial and fungal growth.

    Main Results:

    • The described cannulation technique resulted in a low incidence of serious complications.
    • Over 62% of catheters were successfully maintained in situ for more than five days.
    • An 11.4% incidence of positive bacterial or fungal cultures from catheter tips was observed.
    • All catheters were confirmed to be within the innominate-superior vena cava venous system via radiography.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented internal jugular innominate vein cannulation technique is safe and effective.
    • The needle-in-catheter unit facilitates successful catheter placement.
    • While microbial colonization can occur, serious complications are infrequent, supporting the utility of this method.
