چکیده
Results 52 year old woman addicted to parenteral drugs, stage C3 HIV with 2 weeks duration fever. On arrival had malaise, hypotensive, febrile, tachycardic... it was not possible to catheterize a peripheral vein we performed a central line cannulation: ultrasound-guided infraclavicular axillary vein. Less arterio-venous overlap and a greater distance between artery and vein and from vein to rib cage should provide an increased margin of safety for central venous cannulation. We will describe step by step, accompanied by images, the steps necessary to achieve infraclavicular axillary vein cannulation.

Ultrasound-guided infraclavicular axillary vein cannulation for central venous access.
BACKGROUND Infraclavicular axillary vein cannulation is not commonly used for central venous access because identifying the surface landmarks is difficult. Ultrasound guided axillary vein puncture has not been well described. We assessed ultrasound imaging to guide catheterization of the infraclavicular axillary vein. METHODS In 200 consecutive patients we attempted to catheterize the axillar...

In this month’s journal Ahn and colleagues report the effect of arm abduction on the success of central catheter placement after ultrasound guided infraclavicular axillary vein (AXV) cannulation. We discuss these findings and reflect on the development of this particular route of access to central veins. This paper presents good evidence that arm abduction increases the success of central cathe...
متن کاملInfraclavicular access to the axillary vein - new possibilities for the catheterization of the central veins in the intensive care unit.
Central vein cannulation is one of the most commonly performed procedures in intensive care. Traditionally, the jugular and subclavian vein are recommended as the first choice option. Nevertheless, these attempts are not always obtainable for critically ill patients. For this reason, the axillary vein seems to be a rational alternative approach. In this narrative review, we evaluate the usefuln...
متن کاملUltrasound guidance for central vascular access in the pediatric emergency department.
Central vascular access is sometimes required for hemodynamic monitoring and infusion of fluids and medications in the pediatric emergency department. In many cases, it is attempted after failed peripheral venous and intraosseous access. Some evidence exists demonstrating benefits of ultrasound (US)-guided central vascular cannulation in adults in emergency departments. With appropriate educati...
متن کاملComparison Between Open and Ultrasonography Guided Venous Access Ports in Children with Malignancy
Background: Long-term central venous access is used in children for various reasons specially for delivering chemotherapy. Since vessels in children have smaller diameters, they are more prone to injury and complications such as thrombosis. Different methods are used for implantation of port-a-cath in children. We aimed to compare the complications of insertion of central venous access ports be...
