Efficacy and safety of supraclavicular versus infraclavicular approach for subclavian vein catheterisation: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Subclavian vein catheterisation (SVC) is more effective than internal jugular or femoral catheterisation and is linked to a lesser incidence of infection and patient discomfort. Whether the supraclavicular (SC) or infraclavicular (IC) approach is more effective for SVC is unclear in the previous systematic review. This updated review is designed to search the efficacy and safety of both approaches adopting the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach.

Methods

In May 2022, we explored the databases of Embase, MEDLINE, CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO-ICTRP for randomised controlled trials to compare the two approaches.

Results

Seventeen trials (2482 cases) were included. In the primary outcomes, the SC approach likely reduces the failure proportion (relative risk [RR], 0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.47-0.86; I² = 5%) and the incidence of malposition (RR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.13-0.39; I² = 0%) with moderate evidence and may slightly reduce the incidence of arterial puncture and pneumothorax (RR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.29-1.22; I² = 0%) with low evidence. In the secondary outcomes, the SC approach may decrease the access time and may increase the first-attempt success proportion.

Conclusion

The SC approach for SVC should be selected after considering the clinician's expertise.

Project description:IntroductionCentral venous catheters are indispensable in modern healthcare. Unfortunately, they are accompanied by minor as well as major complications, leading to increased morbidity, mortality and costs. Immediate insertion-related complications (mechanical complications) have decreased due to the implementation of real-time ultrasound guidance, but they still occur and additional efforts to enhance patient safety are warranted. This study aims to investigate whether the use of a needle guide mounted on the ultrasound probe in subclavian catheterisations may decrease the number of catheterisations with >1 skin puncture (primary outcome).Methods and analysisThis is an investigator-initiated, non-commercial, randomised, controlled, parallel-group study conducted at Skåne University Hospital, Lund, Sweden. Adults (≥18 years) with a clinical indication for a subclavian central venous catheter and the ability to give written informed consent will be eligible for inclusion. Exclusion criteria include subclavian catheterisation deemed unsuitable based on the preprocedural ultrasound examination. Patients will be randomised to catheterisation by certified operators using a microconvex probe (long-axis, in-plane technique) with (n=150) or without (n=150) a needle guide. The ultrasound imaging from the procedures will be recorded and assessed by two reviewers individually. The assessors will be blinded for group affiliation. Secondary outcomes include the total number of skin punctures, mechanical complications, time to successful venous puncture, number of failed catheterisations and operator satisfaction with the needle guide at the end of the study period.Recruitment started on 8 November 2022 and will continue until the sample size is achieved.Ethics and disseminationThis study was approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (#2022-04073-01) and the Swedish Medical Products Agency (#5.1-2022-52130; CIV-21-12-038367). The findings will be submitted to an international peer-reviewed journal.Trial registration numberNCT05513378, clinicaltrials.gov.

Project description:BackgroundWe investigated whether visual augmentation (3D, real-time, color visualization) of a procedural simulator improved performance during training in the supraclavicular approach to the subclavian vein, not as widely known or used as its infraclavicular counterpart.MethodsTo train anesthesiology residents to access a central vein, a mixed reality simulator with emulated ultrasound imaging was created using an anatomically authentic, 3D-printed, physical mannequin based on a computed tomographic scan of an actual human. The simulator has a corresponding 3D virtual model of the neck and upper chest anatomy. Hand-held instruments such as a needle, an ultrasound probe, and a virtual camera controller are directly manipulated by the trainee and tracked and recorded with submillimeter resolution via miniature, 6 degrees of freedom magnetic sensors. After Institutional Review Board approval, 69 anesthesiology residents and faculty were enrolled and received scripted instructions on how to perform subclavian venous access using the supraclavicular approach based on anatomic landmarks. The volunteers were randomized into 2 cohorts. The first used real-time 3D visualization concurrently with trial 1, but not during trial 2. The second did not use real-time 3D visualization concurrently with trial 1 or 2. However, after trial 2, they observed a 3D visualization playback of trial 2 before performing trial 3 without visualization. An automated scoring system based on time, success, and errors/complications generated objective performance scores. Nonparametric statistical methods were used to compare the scores between subsequent trials, differences between groups (real-time visualization versus no visualization versus delayed visualization), and improvement in scores between trials within groups.ResultsAlthough the real-time visualization group demonstrated significantly better performance than the delayed visualization group on trial 1 (P = .01), there was no difference in gain scores, between performance on the first trial and performance on the final trial, that were dependent on group (P = .13). In the delayed visualization group, the difference in performance between trial 1 and trial 2 was not significant (P = .09); reviewing performance on trial 2 before trial 3 resulted in improved performance when compared to trial 1 (P < .0001). There was no significant difference in median scores (P = .13) between the real-time visualization and delayed visualization groups for the last trial after both groups had received visualization. Participants reported a significant improvement in confidence in performing supraclavicular access to the subclavian vein. Standard deviations of scores, a measure of performance variability, decreased in the delayed visualization group after viewing the visualization.ConclusionsReal-time visual augmentation (3D visualization) in the mixed reality simulator improved performance during supraclavicular access to the subclavian vein. No difference was seen in the final trial of the group that received real-time visualization compared to the group that had delayed visualization playback of their prior attempt. Training with the mixed reality simulator improved participant confidence in performing an unfamiliar technique.

Project description:IntroductionThe insertion of an implantable central venous access is performed according to a variety of approaches which allow the access to the subclavian vein, yet the supraclavicular technique has been underused and never compared to the other methods. The aim of this study was to testify on the efficacy and safety of the subclavian puncture without ultrasound guidance « Yoffa » in comparison with the classical infraclavicular approach (ICA).Material and methodsThis is a retrospective study with prospective data collection on patients followed at the national oncology institute for cancer, in the period extending from May 1st 2017 to August 31st 2017. All patients had a totally implantable central venous access device inserted by the same surgeon AS for chemotherapy administration and demographic characteristics, as well as procedure details were examined. The primary outcomes were the intraoperative complications, while the secondary outcomes represented immediate postoperative and mid-term complications (at 15 months of follow up). Outcomes were compared between techniques by means of non parametric tests and the Fischer test.ResultsOur study included 135 patients with 70 patients undergoing the subclavian technique, while 65 were subject to the infraclavicular approach. Both groups had no statistically significant demographic characteristics. The number of vein puncture attempts exceeding once, the accidental artery puncture and operative time were more significant in the ICA group; (39,6 vs 17,6 p = 0,01) (9.2% vs 0; p = 0,01) and (27± 13 vs 23± 8min, p = 0.045) respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the immediate and midterm complication rate between the two methods 1(1,4) vs 2 (3) p = 0.5.ConclusionIn case of unavailability of ultrasonographic guidance, the use of the supra-clavicular landmarks approach is linked to higher success rates and less arterial punctures, thereby proving to be a safe and reliable approach.
