Key result
Ultrasound-guided supraclavicular cannulation of the subclavian or brachiocephalic vein in children and neonates is highly feasible, with a cumulated success rate of 98.4% across more than 1,250 reported catheter insertions.

Does ultrasound-guided cannulation of the subclavian or brachiocephalic vein improve success and safety in children and neonates?
Ultrasound-guided cannulation of the subclavian or brachiocephalic vein is a feasible and highly successful route for central venous access in neonates and small children.
Merchaoui et al. (2017) conducted a review in Critically ill children and neonates requiring central venous access (n=1,250). Ultrasound-guided supraclavicular approach to subclavian/brachiocephalic vein cannulation was evaluated on Cumulated success rate. Ultrasound-guided supraclavicular cannulation of the subclavian or brachiocephalic vein in children and neonates is highly feasible, with a cumulated success rate of 98.4% across more than 1,250 reported catheter insertions.
