Real-time US-guided SCV cannulation appears feasible with low complications; leaves open optimal technique and RCTs versus IJ access.
Does ultrasound-guided subclavian vein cannulation improve success rates and reduce mechanical complications compared to the traditional landmark approach?
Real-time ultrasound guidance using a longitudinal in-plane approach is a safe and effective method for subclavian vein cannulation, offering improved success and fewer complications than the traditional landmark technique.
