Ultrasound-guided central venous access: which probe is preferred for viewing the subclavian vein using a supraclavicular approach?

摘要

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound guidance using a linear probe is well established as a tool to increase safety when performing a supradiaphragmatic cannulation of the internal jugular central vein. However, little data exist on which probe is best for performing a supradiaphragmatic cannulation of the subclavian vein.
