Conditions

Success Rate for Subclavian or Femoral Vein Catetherisation

Brief summary

anatomical landmarks on the body surface were used to insert central vein catheter. However, ultrasound technique is emerging as a new technique for vein catheterisation. For subclavian and femoral vein catheterisation, up to now, there is a lack of evidence of the superiority of one technique over the other.
