ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The present study was aimed at evaluating the clinical experiences in the internal jugular venous catheterization for hemodialysis.METHODS:
We retrospectively analyzed the data on internal jugular venous catheterization at Chonnam National University Hospital from May 2000 to Februrary 2001.RESULTS:
There were 132 uremic patients with a total of 150 attempts of internal jugular cannulation. Overall success rate was 90.9% with average puncture trials of 2.3+/-2.1. 124 (82.7%) of the catheterization attempts were made on the right side and 26 (17.3%) were made on the left. The catheters were left in place from 2 to 87 days with an average of 19.5+/-15.3 days per catheter. The dialysis sessions per catheter were from 2 to 58 with an average of 11.3+/-6.8. The mean blood flow during hemodialysis immediately after catheterization was 213.4+/-42.2 ml/min. Thirty two (21.3%) patients had early complications. These included carotid artery puncture (11.3%), local bleeding (4.7%), local pain (3.3%), neck hematoma (0.7%) and malposition of the catheter (1.3%). Seventeen (11.3%) patients had late complications. These included fever or infection (11.3%), inadequate blood flow rate (3.3%) and inadvertent withdrawal (2.0%). There was no catheter-related mortality.CONCLUSIONS:
Our experiences revealed that the internal jugular vein catheterization is relatively safe and efficient for temporary vascular access for hemodialysis.
