Effects of ipsilateral tilt position on the cross-sectional area of the subclavian vein and the clinical performance of subclavian vein catheterization: a prospective randomized trial
Abstract:Background: The cross-sectional area of the subclavian vein (csSCV) is a crucial factor in the successful catheterization of the subclavian vein. This randomized controlled study investigated the effects of the csSCV on landmark-based subclavian vein catheterization. Methods: This study was performed using a two-stage protocol. During stage I, the csSCV was measured in 17 patients placed in the supine, 20°ipsilateral tilt, and 20°contralateral tilt positions in a random order. During stage II, landmark-based s… Show more
