Functional Exploration of the Internal Jugular Veins

  • Conference paper
Intracranial Pressure VIII

Abstract

The determination of clearance of metabolites and oxygen in the brain is based on the assumption that a reliable sample of mixed venous blood can be drawn from the internal jugular vein (IJ) [1, 6, 7, 9]. In the current literature many measurements (AVDO2, CMRO2, etc.) are reported based on IJ samples drawn from either side of the neck. We compared oxygen saturation in both IJs in head injured patients to establish similarities or discrepancies in the two veins.
