ABSTRACT
The study was carried out in 80 patients admitted in ICU and OT at IGMC Shimla. Patients were divided into 2 groups:- group A (short axis) and group B(long axis) of 40 patients each. Internal jugular vein cannulation was done under USG guidance using the two techniques. We were successfully able to cannulate all the patients. We obtained vascular access with higher first pass success and less number of needle passes using short axis approach compared to long axis.
