ObjectiveTo systematically review the effectiveness and safety of anatomic landmarks positioning method (ALM) and real-time two-dimensional ultrasound (RTUS) guidance in the internal jugular vein cannulation. MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMbase, Web of Knowledge, CBM, WanFang Data and CNKI for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning the effectiveness and safety of ALM and RTUS in the internal jugular vein catheterization up to May 1st, 2014. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assess methodological quality of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 10 RCTs involving 1 973 cases were included in the metaanalysis. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with the ALM method, the RTUS method reduced puncture failure rate (OR=0.08, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.15, P<0.000 01). For safety, compared with the ALM method, the RTUS method was significantly lower in arterial injury rate (peto-OR=0.22, 95%CI 0.14 to 0.37, P<0.000 01), and the incidence of pneumothorax (peto-OR=0.13, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.40, P=0.000 3). ConclusionCompared to the ALM method, the RTUS method has characteristics such as causing fewer traumas, and having higher success rate and fewer complications. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the above conclusion still needs to be verified by conducting more studies.
Long-term chronic internal jugular vein (IJV) insufficiency, originally viewed as a non-pathological finding, may result in cerebral venous outflow disturbance, leading to cerebral venous ischemia and cerebral nervous functional disorders. In this article we discuss probable etiologies, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of IJV disturbance, so as to provide some insights for clinicians.
目的 讨论B型超声定位下颈内静脉穿刺置管的经验。方法 回顾我中心2008年11月至2009年4月期间采用B型超声定位行颈内静脉置管的286例患者的临床资料。结果 一次性穿刺成功率为99.3%(284/286),置管成功率为100%(286/286); 穿刺时间50 s~12 min,平均106.8 s; 带管时间5~64 d,平均13 d; 未出现血气胸、皮下血肿等并发症。结论 B型超声定位下颈内静脉穿刺操作简单、方便、安全,适用于各级别医院。在颈短肥胖,被动体位情况下,B型超声定位下置管优势大于传统的盲探法及彩色多普勒超声引导下置管法。
