NCT01575184

Brief Summary

Internal jugular vein (IJV) catheterization is frequently performed in infants undergoing major surgery. Although it has been suggested that head rotation increases the degree of overlapping between IJV and carotid artery (CA), IJV catheterization without head rotation is extremely difficult in infants. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether the caudo-lateral traction of the ipsilateral arm can decrease the degree of overlapping between IJV and CA in infants during head rotation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Carotid artery (CA) overlap (%)

    CA overlap = (overlap distance between CA and internal jugular vein)/CA diameter) × 100 measured by ultrasound image

    10 seconds after head positioning

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • IJV (internal jugular vein) safety portion (%)

    10 seconds after head positioning

  • overlap distance (mm)

    10 seconds after head position

  • jugular to carotid distance (mm)

    10 seconds after head position

  • CA diameter (mm)

    10 seconds after head positioning

  • IJV diameter (mm)

    10 seconds after head positioning

Study Arms (2)

Shoulder traction

EXPERIMENTAL

The ultrasonographic measurements with shoulder traction

Other: caudo-ipsilateral traction of shoulder

No traction

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The ultrasonographic measurements without shoulder traction

Other: The ultrasonographic measurements without shoulder traction

Interventions

After the head rotation (0, 40, 80 degrees) to the contralateral side from the ultrasound measuring site, the slight caudo-ipsilateral traction of shoulder will be applied without changing the degree of the head rotation.

Shoulder traction

After the head rotation (0, 40, 80 degrees) to the contralateral side from the ultrasound measuring site, the no traction of shoulder will be applied.

No traction
