Conclusion: According to the results of this
study, the right-side IJV diameter was found to be statistically significantly
greater than that of the left side in
Turkish population. Valsalva effects, age and gender are non-effective on
diameters. Distinguishing the diameters , surgical and interventional risks can
be decreased.
Results: No statistically significant
difference was determined in respect of diameter values above and below 60
years of age(p<0.05). No statistically significant difference was determined
between male and female genders in respect of all the diameter values (p<0.05) except
LIJV in transverse diameter with valsalva .The
right IJV diameter in both the transverse and anteroposterior sections were
determined to be statistically significantly wider both at rest and during the Valsalva maneuver
(p<0.05).
Patients-Methods: The study included a total of 140
patients. The maximal transverse and anterior-posterior diameters of the
internal jugular veins were measured on both sides, both with the patient at
rest and during the Valsalva maneuver with USG.
Objective: As the internal jugular vein (IJV)
is a vessel used for cannulation in central venous approaches in medical
applications, knowledge of the anatomic details is significant for clinicians knowing that vascular diameter
varies according to age and gender is an extremely useful data. The aim of this
study was to evaluate differences in the
right and left side diameters of the
internal jugular vein in normal adult
Turkish population and to determine any relationship between these diameters
and age, gender and maneuver.
