Serial measurements of CBF and metabolism require multiple cerebral venous blood samples. Retrograde catheterization of the right internal jugular vein is easily performed at a point 2.5-3 cm lateral to, and 2 cm above, the medial end of the right clavicula. Complications are few and minor. In 1/80 (1.25%) cases the carotid artery was punctured during cannulation. Insertion of the catheter for 16-18 cm reduces contamination with extra-cerebral blood to a minimum.
