Comparison of safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided supraclavicular and infraclavicular subclavian vein cannulation in intensive care unit patients: A randomized clinical study
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study designs: Randomized Controlled Trial, Clinical Trial
Abstract: Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the ease, difficulties, and complication rate of subclavian venous catheterization using the supraclavicular (SC) and infraclavicular (IC) approach under real-time ultrasound (USG) guidance in intensive care unit (ICU). The primary objective was to compare total procedure time during USG-guided subclavian vein catheterization. Methods: This was a prospective randomized comparative study. Eighty ICU patients of age >18 years of both genders requiring central venous catheterization were included in the study. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups using computer-generated random number table. USG guide central venous catheterization was done through SC approach in Group SC and through IC approach in Group IC after taking written consent. Results: > 0.05). Conclusion: USG-guided SC approach of subclavian vein catheterization has shorter procedural time with better needle visualization and less complication rates than the IC approach.
