Ultrasound guided axillary vein catheterization versus subclavian vein cannulation with landmark technique: A PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although ultrasound (US) guided axillary vein (AV) catheterization has been well described, evidence for its efficacy and safety compared with conventional infraclavicular landmark guided subclavian vein (SCV) cannulation have not been comprehensively appraised. Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine whether US guided AV catheterization reduces catheterization failures and adverse events compared to SCV puncture based on landmark technique.

Methods

We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science, SCOPUS, China Biology Medicine, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang, and Wei Pu databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studies published from inception to May 2021. Two investigators reviewed
