Supraclavicular Subclavian Vein Catheterization: The Forgotten Central Line
نویسندگان
چکیده
While the supraclavicular approach to the subclavian vein has been described since 1965, it is generally employed much less often than the "traditional" infraclavicular approach. Although randomized trials are lacking, the best evidence suggests that the supraclavicular approach has a number of important advantages to the infraclavicular approach. The landmarks and relative merits of the procedure are described in this paper.

A Modified Approach to Supraclavicular Subclavian Vein Catheter Placement: The Pocket Approach
BACKGROUND Central venous access is often necessary for the administration of fluids, blood products, and medications. Several approaches to supraclavicular subclavian venous access have been described. This study examines the effectiveness of central venous catheter placement utilizing an alternative set of anatomic landmarks for supraclavicular subclavian vein access. METHODS This was a two...
متن کاملCatheter malposition following supraclavicular approach for subclavian vein catheterisation--case reports.
The supraclavicular approach of subclavian vein catheterization is associated with the lowest incidence of malposition. We report two cases of unusual malpositions seen during central venous cathelerization of subclavian vein via supraclavicular approach. Literature search did not reveal such malpositions. The possible cause for the malposition and method to prevent it is discussed.

Introduction Central venous catheterization (CVC) is implemented for volume resuscitation, hemodynamic monitoring, vasopressor administration, frequent blood sampling, parenteral nutritional support and the administration of long-term chemotherapy [1]. Generally, it is attempted using the internal jugular, subclavian or femoral veins. The subclavian vein access has been the recommended approach...

BACKGROUND Central venous catheters are commonly inserted for hemodynamic monitoring, volume monitoring, administration of medications, long-term total parenteral nutrition, access for renal replacement therapy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and difficult peripheral catheterization. The primary outcome of this study was to define venipuncture, catheterization and entire procedure success rates...
متن کاملSupraclavicular versus infraclavicular subclavian vein catheterization in infants.
BACKGROUND Central venous catheterization is an important procedure for infant patients for a number of different purposes, including nutritional support, surgical operation, hemodynamic monitoring, and multiple lines for critical care medications. Subclavian vein catheterization (SVC) is one of the central vein catheterization techniques. SVC can be performed from 4 different locations: right ...
