Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Group A= Conventional anatomical landmark technique will be used for IJV cannulation via posterior approach.  The point where external jugular vein crosses the posterolateral border of sternocleidomastoid is the entry point. A skin wheal will be raised at this point with 1 ml of 2% lignocaine. The body of the muscle will be lifted and an 18G introducer needle will be then advanced at an angle of 30 degrees to the skin, directed towards the suprasternal notch. With constant aspiration the needle will be slowly advanced until two tissue pops are felt at the prevertebral fascia and the vein wall. The position of the vein will be confirmed by the aspiration of dark blood. The vein will be cannulated by modified Seldingers technique. The hub of the cannula will be anchored with sutures. 
Intervention  Group B= USG guided technique will be used for IJV cannulation via posterior approach.  The patient will be placed in Trendlenburg position, with head slightly rotated to the contralateral side. Using USG probe, the anatomical location and patency of the IJV will be assessed and guided by real-time USG imaging, the introducer needle mounted on a syringe will be inserted into the IJV. Once blood is freely aspirated, the USG probe will be set aside and the syringe is removed from the needle. The procedure is further completed as mentioned in conventional anatomical landmark technique and various variables are noted.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Central venous cannulation is a very commonly performed procedure in perioperative period and ICUs. The common vessels used are Internal Jugular Vein, Femoral Vein and Subclavian Vein.
Three approaches can be used for IJV cannulation namely, Anterior, Central and Posterior. Central approach is the most commonly used but comparatively Posterior approach is found to be significantly better in prevention of complications.
The IJV cannulation will be done via Posterior approach comparing two techniques- Anatomical landmark based technique versus USG guided technique.
Patient is taken in OT. NBM status, PAC, written and informed consent will be checked. Patient demographic data are taken like age, sex, BMI,NIBP.
Routine vital monitors are attached for ECG, SpO2, EtCO2, Entropy, Peripheral IV line.
After randomization patients will be allocated in two groups.
Baseline characteristics are noted such as HR,SBP,DBP,MBP(invasive).
IJV cannulation via posterior approach will be done by conventional anatomical landmark method or USG guided method.
Variables will be noted such as first attempt success rate, number of attempts, skin puncture to flashback time, flashback to catheter insertion time, total procedure time.
Complications if any such as posterior wall puncture, carotid artery puncture, hematoma formation are noted.
Statistical analysis is done using appropriate tests and software and conclusions are drawn.
