Risk Factors Associated with Carotid Artery Puncture following Landmark-Guided Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation Attempts

Objective: The relationship between certain risk factors and carotid artery puncture (CAP) as an early mechanical complication following internal jugular vein cannulation attempts (IJVCAs) was evaluated. Methods: In a retrospective 1-year observational single-center study, 86 IJVCAs conducted in the...

Description
Summary:Objective: The relationship between certain risk factors and carotid artery puncture (CAP) as an early mechanical complication following internal jugular vein cannulation attempts (IJVCAs) was evaluated. Methods: In a retrospective 1-year observational single-center study, 86 IJVCAs conducted in the operating room by 4 competent anesthesiologists were evaluated. Age, gender, puncture side, number of cannulation attempts, circumstances of the procedure and incidence of CAP were obtained from medical records. Results: Of the 86 IJVCAs performed in patients aged 18–75 years, CAP occurred in 8 (9.3%): 5 (5.8%) in patients >65 years and 3 (3.5%) in patients
