The subclavian vein (SCV) is often the preferred site for central venous access. Ultrasound-guided SCV catheterizations with supraclavicular (SC) or infraclavicular (IC) approach have been proved to be useful in children.

The duration for susscessful placement of needle into subclavian vein
The time needed to place needle into the vein (from needle entry into the skin to aspiration of blood with syringe) was measured. When the duration was recorded as greater than 20 min, the procedure was defined unsuccessful and excluded from the analysis.
Time frame: within 20 minutes
