Jugular Vein Catheterization

Jugular vein catheterization involves inserting a thin, flexible tube (catheter) into the jugular vein in the neck to give medications, fluids, or to monitor blood pressure. The procedure is typically performed under sterile conditions and guided by imaging techniques like ultrasound to ensure accurate placement. It provides a reliable access point for medical treatments, especially when other veins are difficult to access. This method is commonly used in hospitals for critical care, ensuring the patient receives necessary interventions efficiently and safely.
