Y. P. Krespi, A. Komisar and F. E. Lucente
Percutaneous cannulation of the internal jugular vein has become a widely
accepted method for monitoring central venous pressure, hyperalimentation,
and rapid fluid administration. Although complications from this procedure
have been rare, many unusual case reports are found in the literature.
Three cases of otolaryngologic importance are presented. A revised
technique of the internal jugular vein catheterization is described.
