“…Pressure at the clavicle vein may help prevent malpositioning into the subclavian. 12 Assessment of catheter location via imaging technology or specially designed stylets and a locating instrument may provide additional clues promoting insertion success. If the sterile field has been maintained while awaiting radiographic confirmation of tip location, repositioning is allowed by partial catheter withdrawal and reinsertion.…”

Placement of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is commonplace in infants and children for the infusion of medications, hydration, and nutritional solutions. Vein depletion caused by repeated and prolonged need for vascular access devices has forced practitioners to consider alternate veins for providing care. The external jugular vein has a positive history of use for insertion of the PICC and is becoming increasing popular for this purpose. Pertinent anatomy, patient selection criteria, preparation, and catheter insertion and maintenance processes related to the catheter placed and residing in the external jugular vein are discussed.

As a leader in infusion therapy, the Infusion Nurses Society convened a national task force of experts to examine the practice of registered nurses placing catheters in external jugular veins. It is the position of the Infusion Nurses Society that a qualified licensed registered nurse, who is proficient in infusion therapy, may insert, care for, maintain, and remove external jugular peripherally inserted central catheters and external jugular peripheral intravenous catheters.
