An Innovative Method to Prevent Guidewire Access to the Ipsilateral Internal Jugular Vein During Pediatric Subclavian Vein Cannulation
Authors' conclusion
Temporary pressure at the IJV just above the clavicle to occlude the IJV during placement of the guidewire helps prevent inadvertent placement of the guidewire into the IJV.
