Abstract

The insertion of Hemodialysis canula is the first step towards doing hemodialysis. The Internal jugular vein is a common site for canulation and insersion is done by landmark method and Seldinger wire technique. The insertion of HD canula by ultrasound guidance is considered standard for central line insertion but seeker needle method in landmark technique can be used where ultrasound cannot be feasible.  In this article we discuss about Seeker needle method and its advantages and disadvantages with Ultrasound method

Keywords- Seeker needle, Hemodialysis canula, internal jugular vein, Landmark technique.
