Background Peripheral intravenous cannulation is a common procedure in the emergency
department. Nevertheless, failure rates during the first attempt are as high as 40% in adults …

OBJECTIVES: This clinical trial aimed to compare the ultrasound-guided in-plane
infraclavicular cannulation of the axillary vein (AXV) and the ultrasound-guided out-of-plane …

In this month's journal Ahn and colleagues1 report the effect of arm abduction on the
success of central catheter placement after ultrasound guided infraclavicular axillary vein …

Central vein cannulation is one of the most commonly performed procedures in intensive
care. Traditio nally, the jugular and subclavian vein are recommended as the first choice …

Background The axillary vein is an easily accessible vessel that can be used for ultrasound-
guided central vascular access and offers an alternative to the internal jugular and …

Background: Ultrasound (US)-guided internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation is a widely
accepted standard procedure. The axillary vein (AV) in comparison to the subclavian vein is …

Purpose The main purpose of this study was to define the venipuncture and catheterization
success rates and early mechanical complication rates of ultrasound-guided infraclavicular …

Background: Despite its potential advantages, ultrasound-guided cannulation of the axillary
vein in the infraclavicular area is still rarely used as an alternative to other techniques. There …

Background: Catheterization of the axillary vein in the infraclavicular area has important
advantages in patients with long-term, indwelling central venous catheters. The two most …

The axillary vein has been shown to be a safe and effective cannulation site for patients
requiring central venous access. Compared to subclavian vein cannulation, axillary vein …
