Comparative evaluation of subclavian vein catheterization by supraclavicular and infraclavicular approach

The present study was conducted in Department of Anaesthesia, Sardar Patel Medical College and PBM Hospital, Bikaner, with the aim comparative evaluation subclavian vein catheterization by supraclavicular infraclavicular approach. There are three common routes central venous i.e. subclavian, internal jugular femoral. Hence our we have done a approach for SCV primary objective successful using anatomical landmark technique secondary first attempt success rate, time taken cannulation also record incidence complications related to either In study, 60 patients enrolled were randomly divided into two groups 30 each. Group A Infraclavicular B Supraclavicular catheterisation performed Successful catheterization, access catheter malfunction or any other complication recorded. group (IC) Maximum 63.33% inserted single whereas minimum 10% required 3 more attempts while maximum 93.33% 3.33% needed attempts, difference found statistically significant. Overall 90% 96% 93 % when combined both groups. Mean insertion observed (6.67 ± 1.44 min.) less (4.47 1.01min.) B, highly We conclude that SC is better as comparable IC terms landmarks accessibility, rate complications.
