Study objectiveSubclavian vein cannulation in the infraclavicular region may be a preferred approach as it is associated with less infection than internal jugular or femoral venous access in critically ill patients. Short-axis view" has a problem that shaft of the puncture needle is not visualized and tip of the needle is only seen as dot; hence posterior wall of the vein puncture is always possible with short-axis approach. We have designed this study to know the ultrasonographic anatomy of ...
