ABSTRACT

Objective To provide regional anatomical data for clinical application through observing the type, length and diameter of variation in the medial cubital vein of upper limb. Methods Dissected the medial cubital vein of upper limb in 35 (70 sides) adult cadavers (male 38, female 7), and observed the morphological structure. The length and vessel diameter of the medial cubital vein were measured. Results The variation of the medial cubital vein of upper limb was divided into six type. TypeⅠincluded 29 cases (41. 43%) of male and 8 cases (11. 43%) of female;Type Ⅱ included 14 cases (20. 00%) of male and 4 cases (5. 71%) of female;Type Ⅲ included 7 cases (10. 00%) of male and 2 cases (2. 86%) of female;TypeⅣincluded 3 cases (4. 29%) of male and 0 cases of female;TypeⅤincluded 2 cases (2. 86%) of male and 0 cases of female;TypeⅥincluded 1 cases (1. 43%) male and 0 cases of female. Conclusion This study enriched anthropology data of the medial cubital vein and it has the role of guiding in clinical applications.

ABSTRACT

A punção venosa periférica é uma das atividades frequentemente executadas pelos profissionais da saúde, principalmente pela equipe de enfermagem e possui um alto nível de complexidade técnico-científico que exige conhecimentos anatômicos, além da habilidade e destreza manual. A veia intermédia do cotovelo é a principal veia utilizada para esse procedimento. O presente trabalho trata-se de um estudo descritivo macroscópico em quatro cadáveres humanos indigentes, a partir dos quais foi possível identificar e descrever as diferenças morfológicas da veia intermédia do cotovelo. A classificação das veias é baseada em cinco tipos. Em nossa pesquisa, verificaram-se os tipos I (12,5%), II (37,5%), III (0%), IV (25%), V (25%), também foi observado que a veia intermédia do cotovelo possui em média 0,4 cm de calibre, 6,5 cm de comprimento e que se situa em sua maior porção (4,38 cm) acima da prega do cotovelo, em média 3,45 cm distante do epicôndilo medial e 3,92 cm do epicôndilo lateral no nível da fossa cubital, notando a sua estreita relação com o nervo mediano e artéria braquial. Conclui-se que a veia intermédia do cotovelo é assimétrica e não é a veia mais indicada do membro superior para realizar a punção venosa periférica. Recomenda-se aos profissionais da saúde realizar uma análise cautelosa das veias da fossa cubital, utilizar outra veia de calibre semelhante e que outros estudos sejam feitos a fim de descrever as formações venosas da fossa cubital.


Peripheral venipuncture is often one of the frequent activities performed by health care professionals, especially by nursing staff, with a high-level technical-scientific complexity, requiring both anatomical knowledge and manual dexterity. The medial cubital vein is the main vein used for this procedure. This paper is a macroscopic descriptive study on four human indigent cadavers, where it is possible to identify and describe the morphological differences in the medial cubital vein. Vein classification is based on five different types. In this study, types I (12.5%), II (37.5%), III ( 0%), IV (25%) and V (25%) were observed. It was also noticed that the medial cubital vein has an average 0.4-cm caliber, 6.5-cm length and that it lies for the most part (4.38 cm) above the elbow crease. It is located, on average, 3.45 cm from the medial epicondyle and 3.92 cm from the lateral epicondyle in the cubital fossa level, with a close relationship to the median nerve and brachial artery. It can be concluded that the medial cubital vein is asymmetric and is not the most suitable vein from the upper limb to perform a peripheral venipuncture. It is recommended that health professionals perform a careful analysis of the veins in the cubital fossa, use other similar caliber vein and that further studies are performed in order to describe the venous formations of the cubital fossa.
