Abstract
The internal jugular vein (LTV) can provide an extremely reliable site for correct placement of central venous catheter. The average success rate using this approach is more than 95 percent l. However, percutaneous cannulation of the IJV has not been recommended in pediatric age group because of the low success rate in children under age 2 • Monitoring of central venous pressure (CVP) is quite useful in the management of children undergoing major surgery, so that a safe and sure approach to percutaneous cannulation is mandatory. We describe an improved technique for the .percutaneous IJV cannulation which, in our experience, has proven very reliable when attempting to identify the IJV.
