Why the study?
Does ipsilateral head turning and supraclavicular pressure prevent internal jugular vein malposition during right-sided subclavian catheterization?
Does ipsilateral head turning and supraclavicular pressure prevent internal jugular vein malposition during right-sided subclavian catheterization?
Routine head turning does not significantly prevent IJV malposition during subclavian catheterization, but a new auscultatory test can accurately detect it.

Maneuvers should not be relied on to prevent IJV malposition; leaves open validation of auscultatory testing before adoption.
