A Retrospective Study of Preferable Alternative Route to Right Internal Jugular Vein for Placing Tunneled Dialysis Catheters: Right External Jugular Vein versus Left Internal Jugular Vein.

Project description:BackgroundRight internal jugular vein (IJV) is a preferred access route for tunneled (cuffed) dialysis catheters (TDCs), and both right external jugular vein (EJV) and left IJV are alternative routes for patients in case the right IJV isn't available for TDC placement. This retrospective study aimed to determine if a disparity exists between the two alternative routes in hemodialysis patients in terms of outcomes of TDCs.Methods49 hemodialysis patients who required TDCs through right EJV (n = 21) or left IJV (n = 28) as long-term vascular access were included in this study. The primary end point was cumulative catheter patency. Secondary end points include primary catheter patency, proportion of patients that never required urokinase and incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI).ResultsA total of 20,870 catheter-days were evaluated and the median was 384 (interquartile range, 262-605) catheter-days. Fewer catheters were removed in the right EJV group than in the left IJV group (P = 0.007). Mean cumulative catheter patency was higher in the right EJV group compared with the left IJV group (P = 0.031). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of CRBSI, primary catheter patency or proportion of patients that never required urokinase use. Total indwell time of antecedent catheters was identified as an independent risk factor for cumulative catheter patency by Cox regression hazards test with an HR of 2.212 (95% CI, 1.363-3.588; p = 0.001).ConclusionsRight EJV might be superior to left IJV as an alternative insertion route for TDC placement in hemodialysis patients whose right IJVs are unavailable.

Idiopathic Bilateral Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis Diagnosed by Point-of-Care Ultrasound.

Project description:Internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis is an unusual condition, especially when it develops bilaterally. This is a case of bilateral IJV thrombosis in a 77-year old female who presented to the emergency department with neck and arm swelling after discontinuing apixaban and undergoing an oropharyngeal procedure. The diagnosis of bilateral IJV thrombosis was made with the use of point-of-care ultrasound to evaluate bilateral jugular vein distention and bilateral upper extremity pitting edema found on her physical examination.

Fat embolism in right internal jugular vein: incidental ultrasound finding during internal jugular vein cannulation.

Project description:BackgroundWe report a case study of fat embolism seen on ultrasound at right internal jugular vein during central venous cannulation in a patient diagnosed with fat embolism syndrome. This case demonstrates the importance of ultrasound for evaluation of trauma cases with suspicion of fat embolism.Case presentationA 23-year-old trauma patient with closed fracture of left femoral shaft and left humerus presented to our emergency department (ED). 11 h after admission to ED, patient became confused, hypoxic and hypotensive. He was then intubated for respiratory failure and mechanically ventilated. Transesophageal ultrasound revealed hyperdynamic heart, dilated right ventricle with no regional wall abnormalities and no major aorta injuries. Whole-body computed tomography was normal. During central venous cannulation of right internal jugular vein (IJV), we found free floating mobile hyperechoic spots, located at the anterior part of the vein. A diagnosis of fat embolism syndrome later was made based on the clinical presentation of long bone fractures and fat globulin in the blood. Despite aggressive fluid resuscitation, patient was a non-responder and needed vasopressor infusion for persistent shock. Blood aspirated during cannulation from the IJV revealed a fat globule. Patient underwent uneventful orthopedic procedures and was discharged well on day 5 of admission.ConclusionsPoint-of-care ultrasound findings of fat embolism in central vein can facilitate and increase the suspicion of fat embolism syndrome.

Optimal head rotation and puncture site for internal jugular vein cannulation after laryngeal mask airway insertion.

Project description:IntroductionWe studied the effect of head rotation on the relative position of the right common carotid artery (CCA) and the right internal jugular vein (IJV) in patients with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion to evaluate the accuracy of anatomical landmarks for right IJV cannulation.MethodsWe simulated needle insertion to the right IJV on sonograms via the central landmark approach and an approach using the external jugular vein, in patients with LMA insertion (n = 50) or endotracheal intubation (E-tube, n = 50). Overlap index and successful simulation rates were measured according to the different degrees of head rotation.ResultsThe overlap index between the right CCA and the right IJV increased with greater degrees of head rotation. It was significantly greater in the LMA insertion group than in the E-tube group in the following head rotation positions: neutral, 15° and 45°. The success rate of the simulation was lower in the LMA insertion group than in the E-tube group. In the LMA insertion group, the success rate of the simulation was highest (62%) with the central landmark approach and in the 15° head rotation position.ConclusionIn the LMA insertion group, the overlap index increased incrementally with greater head rotation degrees (from neutral to 45°). The central landmark approach and 15° head rotation position appear to be the optimal puncture site and degree of head rotation for right IJV cannulation in patients with LMA insertion.

Malignant otitis externa with subsequent internal jugular vein thrombosis and hypoglossal palsy: a report and review of literature.

Project description:Inflammation of a part or whole of the temporal bone and surrounding soft tissue is termed as malignant otitis externa, which typically spreads to skull base to involve cranial nerves VII. Rarely can it also effect one or more of cranial nerves IX, X, XI, and XII. We present a case of malignant otitis externa which presented with symptomatic palsy of IX and XII nerves sparing the VII cranial nerve. The patient though later on had internal jugular vein thrombosis, which we presume is due to the involvement of the parapharyngeal space that prompted us to reconsider the diagnosis, and later on, to aggravate the therapy. With proper blood sugar control and appropriate long term antibiotics, not only that the patient is disease free at one year follow up, but the cranial nerve deficits also recovered. Apart from sharing the clinical and management details of this patient, we have reviewed the relevant literature in the discussion, which has shed some light onto some of the interesting facts about this condition and its prognosis.

Internal jugular vein reconstruction using a triple-paneled great saphenous vein graft.

Project description:BackgroundDonor-recipient diameter discrepancy can be problematic when using an autologous great saphenous vein graft for internal jugular vein reconstruction. A triple-paneled method of saphenous vein grafting is one solution.Case presentationA 54-year-old man with a thyroid papillary carcinoma underwent total thyroidectomy and bilateral neck dissection. An 8-cm segment of the right internal jugular vein was resected. For reconstruction, a 30-cm segment of the great saphenous vein was harvested and divided into three pieces of equal length. After opening each piece longitudinally, they were sutured together in a side-by-side fashion to create a cylinder that was used to reconstruct the internal jugular vein defect. The graft was patent 10 months after the surgery.ConclusionThe triple-paneled method is feasible for autologous great saphenous vein graft reconstruction of the internal jugular vein.

Optimal Insertion Depth of Central Venous Catheter through the Right Internal Jugular Vein, Verified by Transesophageal Echocardiography: A Prospective Observational Study.

Project description:This prospective observational study investigated the optimal insertion depth of the central venous catheter through the right internal jugular vein using transesophageal echocardiography. After tracheal intubation, the anesthesiologist inserted a probe for esophageal echocardiography into the patient's esophagus. The investigators placed the catheter tip 2 cm above the superior edge of the crista terminalis with echocardiography, which was defined as the optimal point. We measured the inserted length of the catheter. Pearson correlation tests were performed with the measured optimal depth and some patient parameters. We made a new formula for placing the catheter at the optimal position. A total of 89 subjects were enrolled in this trial. The correlation coefficient between the measured optimal depth and the patient's parameters was the highest for patient height (0.703, p < 0.001). We made a new formula of 'height (cm)/10 - 1.5 cm'. The accuracy rate of this formula for the optimal zone was 71.9% (95% confidence interval; 62.4 - 81.4%), which was the highest among the previous formulas or guidelines when we compared. In conclusion, the central venous catheter tip was evaluated with transesophageal echocardiography, and we could make a new formula of 'height (cm)/10 - 1.5', which seemed to be better than other previous guidelines.

Percutaneous transvenous angioplasty of left innominate vein stenosis following right side permanent pacemaker implantation- a left femoral vein to left axillary vein approach.

Project description:Central venous stenosis after the insertion of a permanent pacemaker is a well recognized complication. This late complication is encountered when there is a need to change the pacemaker lead or extract it. We describe a young male who had such a complication after many years after right side pacemaker implantation. The lesion was managed percutaneously leading to placement of a new lead from the left side.
