    AbstractDouble lumen cannulae were inserted through the right internal jugular vein (IJV) in 100 children, undergoing open heart surgery. High approach (n = 50, group I) of IJV cannulation was compared with low approach (n = 50, group II). In both the groups, hydromer coated double lumen polyurethane cannulae (Hydrocath) were introduced using Seldinger's technique; 98 per cent success rate was achieved in both the groups. Tip of cannulae was in intrathoracic position in 100 per cent patients. One patient in group I had carotid artery puncture. Catheter blockage occurred in one patient each in both the groups. Double lumen catheters are easy to insert and offer two lumens through single puncture site.
