  2. External jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_jugular_vein

    The external jugular is a large vein used in prehospital medicine for venous access when the Paramedic is unable to find another peripheral vein [4] It is commonly used in cardiac arrest or other situations where the patient is unresponsive due to the pain associated with the procedure.

  3. Venous cutdown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_cutdown

    Venous cutdown is an emergency procedure in which the vein is exposed surgically and then a cannula is inserted into the vein under direct vision. It is used for venous access in cases of trauma , and hypovolemic shock when the use of a peripheral venous catheter is either difficult or impossible.

  4. Central venous catheter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_venous_catheter

    Fortunately, the incidence of these events is exceedingly rare, especially when lines are placed with ultrasound guidance. Accidental cannulation of the carotid artery is a potential complication of placing a central line in the internal jugular vein. This occurs at a rate of approximately 1% when ultrasound guidance is used.

  5. Vascular access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_access

    Catheter access, sometimes called a CVC (central venous catheter), consists of a plastic catheter with two lumens (or occasionally two separate catheters) which is inserted into a large vein (usually the vena cava, via the internal jugular vein or the femoral vein) to allow large flows of blood to be withdrawn from one lumen, to enter the dialysis circuit, and to be returned via the other lumen.

  6. Peripheral venous catheter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_venous_catheter

    The catheter is introduced into the vein by a needle (similar to blood drawing), which is subsequently removed while the small plastic cannula remains in place. The catheter is then fixed by taping it to the patient's skin or using an adhesive dressing. A peripheral venous catheter is the most commonly used vascular access in medicine.

  7. Seldinger technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seldinger_technique

    The Seldinger technique, also known as Seldinger wire technique, is a medical procedure to obtain safe access to blood vessels and other hollow organs. It is named after Sven Ivar Seldinger (1921–1998), a Swedish radiologist who introduced the procedure in 1953.

  8. Venipuncture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venipuncture

    In medicine, venipuncture or venepuncture is the process of obtaining intravenous access for the purpose of venous blood sampling (also called phlebotomy) or intravenous therapy. In healthcare, this procedure is performed by medical laboratory scientists , medical practitioners , some EMTs , paramedics , phlebotomists , dialysis technicians ...

  9. Ambesh maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambesh_maneuver

    Ambesh maneuver is a technique that involves the simple external compression of internal jugular vein in supraclavicular fossa to prevent [1] and diagnose [2] misplacement of the subclavian vein catheter into the internal jugular vein (IJV).
