Neonatologist-performed ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein cannulation

Abstract:

We retrieved data of ultrasound-guided neonatal internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulations done between November, 2020 and March, 2021. Of the 33 ultrasound-guided IJV cannulation in neonates, 32 were successful with overall success rate of 97%. Median (IQR) number of attempts per insertion was 2 (1,3.5). There were no major complications observed during the insertion of the catheter. In one instance, inadvertent carotid artery puncture was encountered, without significant bleeding.
