One hundred patients of either sex undergoing elective cardiac operation were divided randomly into 2 groups. In both groups, the right internal jugular vein was cannulated using the Seldinger technique and multilumen central venous catheters. The length of catheter inserted in Group A was height of the patient in centimeters divided by 10, and Group B height in centimeters divided by 12. Ideal catheter tip position could be obtained in 94% of the patients in Group B, but only 36% in Group A ( p < 0.001).
