Have patient lift his/her head from the bed to define the
sternomastoid muscle. Catheterization will be performed at the
apex of a triangle formed between the two heads of the
sternomastoid muscle. The apex should be approximately three
finger breadths above the clavicle. The carotid artery should be
palpated medial to the point of catheter insertion.
•
Note the position of the subclavian vein, which is posterior to the
clavicle, superior to the first rib, and anterior to the subclavian
artery. (At a point just lateral to the angle made by the clavicle and
the first rib.)
Warning:
Patients requiring ventilator support are at increased risk of
pneumothorax during subclavian vein cannulation, which may cause
complications.
Warning:
Extended use of the subclavian vein may be associated with
subclavian vein stenosis.
