prospective randomized double-blind controlled study
Total of 69 ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologist) physical status class I or II patients will be enrolled. Randomly assigned to three group according to the depth of guide-wire prior to tissue dilation during central catheterization via right internal jugular vein. (Group 1: 15 cm / Group 2: 17.5 cm / Group 3: 20 cm) Central catheterization will be performed by anesthesiologists who be blinded to this study protocol. An investigator will monitor and record whether any arrhythmia will occur. The incidence of occurrence of arrhythmia will be compared between three groups.
