Question asked
To insert a central venous access via the internal jugular vein in an adult, should ultrasound-guided puncture or anatomical cutaneous landmark-based cannulation be used?
Data
The results of the meta-analysis demonstrated an 86% reduction in the rate of catheterisation failure (RR: 0.14; 95%CI: 0.09–0.23) in 13 randomised, controlled trials including 2653 patients, an 80% reduction in arterial puncture rates (RR: 0.20; 95%CI: 0.13–0.32) in 13 randomised, controlled trials including 2675 patients, a
