Proximal PenHolding Method – A Variant to Enhance Safety of UltrasoundGuided Central Venous Cannulation: A Prospective Pilot Study

摘要

Aims:A significant incidence of Posterior Vessel Wall Puncture (PVWP) was reported during ultrasound guidance (USG) for internal jugular vein (IJV) catheterization. We studied a new technique of USGIJV cannulation to minimize or avoid PVWP, thereby decreasing overall complication rate, irrespective of the operators' experience level.
