Abstract
A device for locating and distending the external jugular vein is provided by a wish-bone shaped apparatus designed to engage the neck of a patent and apply sufficient pressure on the neck that the external jugular vein becomes distended due to pressure placed on the patient's neck. The device includes two distally placed flat portions that resiliently engage the patient's neck without causing choking or hindrance in breathing.
