Optimal Insertion Depth of Left Internal Jugular Vein Catheter in Infants

We previously performed a study to create formula for the optimal insertion depth of left internal jugular vein catheter in infant, which was registered at cris.nih.go.kr. We found that two calculation methods using height and the distance between landmarks (0.11 × height (cm) + 0.19 and 1.02 × I-A-B (cm) + 1.55, where I was insertion point of needle, A was the most prominent point of the sternal head of the left clavicle, and B was the midpoint of the perpendicular line drawn between the sternal head of the right clavicle and an imaginary line between the nipples) were clinically feasible to determine the insertion depth of left internal jugular vein catheter. In this study, we will compare the actual insertion depth with the insertion depth determined from above two calculation methods in other 46 infants.

About this study

determine the optimal insertion depth of left internal jugular vein catheter in infants

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • An infant requiring a central venous catheter during surgery

Exclusion criteria

  • Extracardiac vascular anomaly
  • Dextrocardia
  • Anatomical abnormality in neck and thorax

Treatment and study plan

4Fr central venous catheter insertion

Procedure

The central venous catheter is placed at left internal jugular vein in infant, and its tip is confirmed by transthoracic echocardiography.

Primary outcomes

  1. The actual insertion depth of central venous catheter

    Time frame: About 5 minutes during central venous catheterization (10 minutes after anesthetic induction)

    The actual insertion depth of central venous catheter placed at left internal jugular vein

Secondary outcomes

  1. The differences between the actual insertion depth and the predicted insertion depth derived from two calculation methods

    Time frame: About 5 minutes during central venous catheterization (10 minutes after anesthetic induction)

    The differences between the actual insertion depth and the predicted insertion depth derived from two calculation methods
