The main objective of this study is to compare the rate of successful establishment of a central venous catheter in the first two attempts of ultrasound-guided puncture between two techniques: (1) a subclavian technique versus (2) an axillary technique.
The secondary objectives of this study are to compare the following between the two techniques: * the success rate of the establishment of a central venous catheter * the success rate of establishment of a central venous catheter at the first attempt at venipuncture * for non-failures (eg, a catheter is placed in the first four trys), time to cannulation * the presence / absence of the following complications: * arterial puncture (yes / no) * pneumothorax (yes / no) * hemothorax (yes / no) * hematoma (yes / no) * nerve injury (yes / no) * aberrant course (yes / no) The reasons catheter placement failures will also be described.

The first two attempts at central venous catheterization will be performed via the distal approach (axillary vein). The third and fourth attempts at central venous catheterization will be performed by the medial approach (subclavian vein). The same puncture material/devices will be used in both arms of the study.
