Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
(a) Time to successful cannulation of the subclavian vein = access-time (presented in seconds: time from skin-incision to aspiration of blood from the axillary vein). (b) Visibility of the needle (presented as percentage from access-time; data gained by analysis of the stored ultrasound sequences).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Video-analysis of the cannulation procedure (ultrasound and ambient video): Number of needle movements Number of skin punctures Time to successful insertion of the seldinger-wire Complications during the procedure (e. g. arterial punctures, pneumothoraces)
