The jugular vein catheterism (JVC) is adopted for blood access in patients with acute renal failure, in chronic renal failure and when patients show failure of traditional vascular access. The technique of catheter insertion in the jugular vein is quick and easy. Usually correct catheter positioning, before starting the dialytic procedure, is controlled by chest X-ray or by intra-cavitary electrocardiogram. The aim of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of the real-time ultrasound guidance to control the correct positioning of the catheter instead of the usual chest X-ray control. We have studied 158 patients with JVC insertion before the hemodialytic procedure; 54 patients have undergone both ultrasound and a chest X-ray control while 104 were only submitted to ultrasound control. The ultrasound procedure includes an under xifoid scanning, with a convex 3.5 Mhz drill to evaluate the four heart cavities. When the right atrium is identified a second operator rapidly infuses in the venous catheter 15 ml of physiological solution thus creating a blood turbolence easily observed in real time as a light jet inside the atrium. This turbolence appears to be the main evidence for good catheter positioning and we were able to show the light jet in 156 (98%) patients. All light jet positive patients were submitted to the hemodialytic procedure without any complications during and after dialysis. We concluded that the intraoperative ultrasound control technique is an alternative to the chest X-ray evaluation because it offers the possibility for safe intraoperative immediate control thus reducing the total costs of the procedure.
