Subclavian vein catheterization: Comparative evaluation of supraclavicular versus infraclavicular approach in oncology patients

The subclavian vein is the preferred site for central venous catheter insertion because of its several advantages. Infraclavicular commonly used approach while supraclavicular less popular catheterizing vein. aim study was to compare and infraclavicular catheterization in terms number attempts, success rate, access time record complications associated with procedure. In this study, 120 patients inclusion criteria were placed either group (SC) or (IC) using modified Seldinger technique under general local anaesthesia. Chi square test rate independent T between two groups. First attempt SC 81.66% IC 66.66%. But overall 93.33% SC, whereas it 90% IC. This not statistically significant p value 0.5. Time taken successful 252.98 ± 76.27 seconds 314.98 121.28 0.001. Right brachiocephalic tear only complication entire which occurred Subclavian via a faster than infraclavicular, both comparable rate.
