The Trendelenburg position has been suggested for right internal jugular vein (RIJV) catheterization. However, this position can sometimes be functionally intolerable for chronic kidney disease patients. We conducted an ultrasound study to further investigate the efficacy of the use of the Trendelenburg position during tunneled dialysis catheter insertion via the RIJV in chronic kidney disease patients.
