Effect of Shoulder Traction on Size and Relative Position of Internal Jugular Vein to Carotid Artery

NCT01575184 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Internal jugular vein (IJV) catheterization is frequently performed in infants undergoing major surgery. Although it has been suggested that head rotation increases the degree of overlapping between IJV and carotid artery (CA), IJV catheterization without head rotation is extremely difficult in infants. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether the caudo-lateral traction of the ipsilateral arm can decrease the degree of overlapping between IJV and CA in infants during head rotation.

Conditions

  • Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation
  • Common Carotid Artery
  • Infants

Interventions

OTHER

caudo-ipsilateral traction of shoulder

After the head rotation (0, 40, 80 degrees) to the contralateral side from the ultrasound measuring site, the slight caudo-ipsilateral traction of shoulder will be applied without changing the degree of the head rotation.

OTHER

The ultrasonographic measurements without shoulder traction

After the head rotation (0, 40, 80 degrees) to the contralateral side from the ultrasound measuring site, the no traction of shoulder will be applied.
