Comparisons of Complications Related to Two Approaches of Ultrasonography-guided Subclavian Venous Catheterization

Overview

For performing subclavian venous catheterization, two approaches (supraclavicular and infraclavicular) have been used successfully in various clinical practice. However, there remains controversy concerning which approach is safer and causes less complications during ultrasonography-guided subclavian venous catheterization. In this context, the investigators sought to compare supraclavicular approach with infraclavicular approach in terms of post-procedural complications during ultrasonography-guided subclavian venous catheterization.
