Abstract
To lessen the risks associated with cannulation of the internal jugular vein, a method to identify the contours of the carotid artery and internal jugular vein at the site of cannulation is proposed. This method uses a doppler flow detector equipped with an adjustable electronic filter which selectively enhances the sound component due either to the arterial or venous flow. This method has been applied clinically and was found to be useful in the identification of the vessels. Since doppler flow detectors are readily available in many hospitals and the required modification is simple, we hope that other institutions will find this technique useful in their clinical practice. Afin de diminuer les risques associés à la canulation de la vein jugulaire interne, une méthode qui identifierait les contours de I’artere carotide et de la veine jugulaire interne au site de la canulation est proposée. Cette méthode utilise un détecteur de flot doppler équipé avec un filtre électronique réglable qui augmentera seélectivement les composantes du bruit provenant soit du flot artiriel ou veineux. Cette mtthode a été appliquée en clinique et jugée utile pour identifier les vaisseaux. Etant donné que les détecteurs de flot doppler sont disponibles dans plusieurs häpitaux et que les modifications requises sont simples, on espère que d’autres institutions trouveront cette technique utile dans leur pratique.Keywords
