Summary

The study is designed to determine anaesthetists ability to locate the right internal jugular vein(IJV) and left IJV using a landmark technique. Initially, a questionnaire was completed detecting previous user experience. An ultrasound probe, using the midpoint as an 'imaginary needle', was placed on the neck of a healthy volunteer and the image recorded. Both anaesthetist and volunteer were blinded to the screen until the image was stored. Anaesthetists were grouped into senior or junior by the total number of IJV canulation experience. The success rate is going to be measured as pass or fail.
