Type A Cubital Venous Pattern among Students of a Dental College: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study

Abstract: Introduction: Superficial veins in cubital fossa vary frequently in their anatomical pattern. The knowledge of variation of the cubital venous pattern is very essential for medical professionals for venous access during different medical procedures. This study aims to find the prevalence of Type A cubital venous pattern among students of a dental college. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 133 dental students of age 18 to 25 years in the department of anatomy of a dental colle… Show more

“…The classification of anatomical patterns varies in different studies, and this depends mainly on the research methods. Studies that depended on advanced equipment such as ultrasound and cadaveric studies their results differ from studies based on classic methods, considering the anatomical differences between races [13,14] The use of new methods, data collection from different ages, non-funding studies, and the population culture have an impact on participating in this kind of study, especially from the female's side; these points consider a study limitation that affects the study results [15,19] The new outcome of this study is giving current data on pattern prevalence which reflect in giving pattern categories compared with a previous study in 1989 [12].…”

“…Ulnar veins are often used for diagnosis and treatment, i.e. venipuncture, blood transfusion, infusion, cardiac catheterization, and vascular access for dialysis [5][6][7] . Venous catheterization sites require a clear knowledge of the anatomical variability of the adjacent vascular and nervous structures not only in order to correctly place the catheter, but also to preserve blood flow in the vessels, which can later be used to form a permanent access.…”

“…It is noticed that these veins vary largely between genders and between populations in their anatomical pattern. The study of this variation is important to medical and healthcare professionals to perform safer venipuncture (2) .…”
