 International CPR guidelines recommend the cannulation of a peripheral vein antecubital or external jugular during resuscitation. One reason for preferring the external jugular vein over more peripheral veins is the faster circulation time of drugs during CPR. The differences in circulation time may be over 90 seconds between peripheral and central internal jugular veins. However, cannulation of the external jugular vein may be more difficult and time consuming than cannulating cubital veins. There are no studies on the success rate, cannulation time and reliability of venous access comparing central and peripheral cannulation sites.
