Abstract:
Objective: To record the diameter of internal jugular veins on each side in adults. Results: Maximum diameter observed was in the male and on the right side (2.16 cm) while minimum diameter (0.66 cm) was seen in the female on the left side. Mean diameters were: 1.91±0.37 cm and 1.43 ± 0.81 cm in the male and 0.84 +0.17 and 0.63 + 0.12 in the female on the right and left sides respectively. Comparisons between the two sides and genders were statistically significant at p < 0.05. Larger diameter on the right side was more prevalent both in the male (81.25%) and in the female (66.6 %). Equal diameter on both sides was not seen. Conclusion: Right internal jugular vein due to its larger diameter is more suitable for catheterization and cannulation in both genders.
