SonoSim Ultrasound Training Solution Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation: Ultrasound-Guided Procedure Module

The Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation: Ultrasound-Guided Procedure Module teaches one how to use ultrasound guidance to cannulate the internal jugular vein (i.e. use ultrasound to verify the presence and position of the internal jugular vein before skin puncture, followed by real-time ultrasound imaging to guide the needle tip through the puncture process.) The course begins by presenting indications and contraindications for ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein cannulation. Then, regional anatomy of the neck, both surface and internal, is reviewed. Sonographic anatomy of the internal jugular vein, common carotid artery, and relevant surrounding structures is described. Procedure preparation is discussed in detail and includes ergonomic considerations, infection prevention, optimal transducer selection, patient positioning, and the survey scan. Procedural steps, sonographic techniques, and imaging adjuncts for internal jugular vein cannulation are explained. The course concludes with technical tips and pitfalls, potential complications, and a summary of salient teaching points. Ten different simulation cases help one develop the visuospatial skills required to successfully perform ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein cannulation.
