Ultrasound-Guided Infraclavicular Axillary Vein Versus Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation in Critically Ill Mechanically Ventilated Patients: A Randomized Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This clinical trial aimed to compare the ultrasound-guided in-plane infraclavicular cannulation of the axillary vein (AXV) and the ultrasound-guided out-of-plane cannulation of the internal jugular vein (IJV).

Design

A prospective, single-blinded, open label, parallel-group, randomized trial.

Setting

Two university-affiliated ICUs in Poland (Opole and Lublin).

Patients

Mechanically ventilated intensive care patients with clinical indications for central venous line placement.

Interventions

Patients were randomly assigned into two groups: the IJV group ( n = 304) and AXV group ( n = 306). The primary outcome was to compare the IJV group and AXV group through the venipuncture and catheterization success rates. Secondary outcomes were catheter ti
