Podcast 836: Humming to get EJ

Contributor: Jared Scott, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Two conventional ways to aid in external jugular vein (EJ) catheter placement are Trendelenburg's position and Valsalva's maneuver by patient
  • One study compared ultrasound visualization of cross sections of EJ and common femoral vein at baseline and with patients in Trendelenburg's position, Valsalva's maneuver, and while humming
  • The study found all three conditions distended the veins from baseline, but there was no significant difference in diameter between the conditions
  • Humming may be a viable technique in distended EJ for catheter placement, and may be easier for patients to comprehend than Valsalva
