This study describes the use of a surface projection line of internal jugular vein to guide the internal jugular vein catheterization. The results in the study suggest that the internal jugular vein line has the similar effect on the internal jugular vein catheterization to real-time ultrasound guide. It may be an alternative choice for the unskilled ultrasound operators, and it can be quite useful in some developing countries and areas.
