To determine the frequency of neurologic complications after internal jugular cannulation,we performed a prospective study in 66 consecutive critically ill patients.Of these 66 patients,one had Horner's syndrome probably associated with a large carotid sheath hematoma(2%;95%CI,1 to 8%).No cerebrovascular complications occurred.The frequency of neurologic complications following internal jugular vein catheterization is low in critical illness. |
