Assesment of internal jugular vein diameters in Turkish adults

What is it about?

According to the results of this study, the right-side IJV diameter was found to be statistically significantly greater than that of the left side in Turkish population. Valsalva effects, age and gender are non-effective on diameters. Distinguishing the diameters , surgical and interventional risks can be decreased.

Why is it important?

According to the results of this study, no correlation was determined between IJV diameters and age in adults or gender except left transverse with valsalva in a Turkish population. Between the right and left sides, the right-side IJV diameter was found to be statistically significantly greater than that of the left side. A statistically significant difference was also determined on both the right and left sides during the Valsalva maneuver compared to the measurements taken at rest.
