Comparative evaluation of ultrasound guided supraclavicular and infraclavicular subclavian venous catheterizations in adult patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Ultrasound-guided subclavian vein cannulation has two approaches: supraclavicular and infraclavicular. The aim of this study was to compare the ease of cannulation by recording the puncture time of the subclavian vein with the two approaches in adult patients.

Material and methods

This study was approved by our institutional ethics committee, and a written informed consent was obtained from the patients. This prospective randomized trial recruited patients aged 18 to 80 years with definite indications of subclavian vein cannulation. Real-time in-plane ultrasound-guided technique was used, and the subclavian vein was punctured at the junction of the brachiocephalic and IJV in supraclavicular approach (SC) and in oblique axis below the border of the clavicl
