Ultrasound-Guided vs. Landmark Method for Subclavian Vein Catheterization
This podcast episode discusses a study that compared ultrasound-guided and landmark methods for subclavian vein catheterization. The study found that ultrasound guidance increased the success rate of the procedure, with a success rate of 79.5% for ultrasound-guided catheterization and 58.5% for the landmark method. The ultrasound-guided approach took about one minute longer on average. No significant difference in complications was observed. The podcast emphasizes the importance of proper training in ultrasound-guided techniques and calls for more research on this method.
