Superficial veins in cubital fossa vary frequently in their anatomical pattern. The knowledge of variation of the cubital venous pattern is very essential for medical professionals for venous access during different medical procedures. This study aims to find the prevalence of Type A cubital venous pattern among students of a dental college.
This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 133 dental students of age 18 to 25 years in the department of anatomy of a dental college from November 2020 to February 2021. This study was conducted after obtaining ethical clearance from the Institutional Review Committee. Convenience sampling used and data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data.
Out of 133 dental students, Type A cubital venous pattern was found in 96 (72.18%) (64.56-79.79 at 95% Confidence Interval). Type A cubital venous pattern was seen in the left arm in 116 (43.61%) and in the right arm of 76 (28.57%) students. This pattern was noticed in 30 (22.55%) male and 103 (77.44%) female students respectively.
This study showed higher Type A cubital venous pattern among dental students than other international studies.
肘窝浅静脉在解剖结构上存在多种变异。对于医疗专业人员来说,了解肘静脉形态的变异对于在不同的医疗操作中进行静脉穿刺非常重要。本研究旨在探讨某口腔医学院学生中 A 型肘静脉形态的流行情况。
本研究为描述性横断面研究,于 2020 年 11 月至 2021 年 2 月在某口腔医学院解剖学系对 133 名年龄在 18 至 25 岁之间的口腔医学生进行。本研究获得了机构审查委员会的伦理批准。采用便利抽样法,使用社会科学统计软件包 20 版进行数据分析。计算了 95%置信区间的点估计值,并对二项数据进行了频率和比例分析。
在 133 名口腔医学生中,96 名(72.18%)(95%置信区间为 64.56%至 79.79%)为 A 型肘静脉形态。A 型肘静脉形态在左侧手臂 116 名(43.61%)和右侧手臂 76 名(28.57%)学生中可见。在 30 名男性(22.55%)和 103 名女性(77.44%)学生中分别观察到这种形态。
本研究显示,与其他国际研究相比,口腔医学生的 A 型肘静脉形态更为常见。
