Conditions
Keywords
subclavian vein catheterization success rate
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the shoulder retraction by placing a saline bag between the scapula influences a success rate of subclavian vein catheterization.
Interventions
position of shoulder retraction by placing a saline bag between the scapula
neutral shoulder position during subclavian vein catheterization

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* adult patients undergoing neurosurgery or thoracic surgery that requires the placement of subclavian venous catheterization
Exclusion criteria
* infection over the puncture site * history of prior clavicular fracture * anatomical anomaly of subclavian vein
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| catheterization success rate | immediately after catheterization (an expected average of 1 hour) | Subclavian vein catheterization will be performed after the induction of anesthesia and before the start of surgery. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| location of catheter tip | an expected average of one day after surgery | Postoperative chest X-ray will be taken to check for the location of catheter tip immediately after surgery. |
