“…Failure to cannulate the vein may be partly due to an aberrant anatomy of the internal jugular vein, which is estimated to be present in up to 8.5% of patients [7]. Patients who are either obese or who have short neck represent an additional challenge to such an extent that cannulation, then, becomes safer by using ultrasound guidance [8].…”

Complications following central venous catheterisation abound in the medical literature. This reflects the under-estimated potential hazards associated with this procedure as well as an increase in the number of such procedures performed in high-risk patients. We report on a case where a venous pseudo-aneurysm developed four months after the removal of a short-term central venous catheter in a moderately high-risk patient.

“…In 1991, Denys and Uretsky] reported a series of 200 patients who underwent IJV cannulation in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, coronary care unit (CCU) and intensive care unit (ICU) and found anatomic anomalies of the IJV (small diameter, unresponsiveness to Valsalva maneuver and unexpected lateral or medial displacement) in 8% of patients. [7] Troianos et al . reported the largest case series for determining the anatomic relationship between the IJV and CA.…”

Over the last few years the role of ultrasound has steadily increased and has now an established role in anesthesia and critical care. The various applications of this technology in this field include ultrasound-guided insertion of central lines (internal jugular, subclavian, axillary, femoral) and peripheral venous catheters, arterial line insertion, regional blocks etc. The simple reason of using this technology is “You believe what you see”. In this text we will mainly focus on central line, peripheral venous placement and arterial blood flow patterns under ultrasound guidance.In our institution at KFMC, internal jugular vein cannulation is preferred to cannulation of the subclavian vein because of the higher incidence of pneumothorax and subclavian artery puncture associated with the later. The incidence of carotid artery puncture is higher in children younger than five years than in older children during this procedure. The use of ultrasonography has been shown to increase the success rate and decrease the incidence of complications associated with IJV cannulation in adults.We will go through a stepwise approach in identifying and confirming the required blood vessels for ultrasound-guided cannulation using B-mode (2D), color flow doppler and Pulse Wave Doppler
