ABSTRACT
This study was carried out in 80 patients admitted in the ICU and OT of IGMC Shimla. They were divided into 2 groups of 40 patients each. Internal jugular venous cannulations were done using ultrasound guided techniques (short axis and long axis view). The complications encountered during cannulation were noted. All the patients from both the groups were successfully cannulated by the operator under ultrasound guidance. Artery punctures occurred in 3 patients which was successfully managed and the cannulations were reattempted and were successful. None of the cannulation was abandoned.
