Subclavian vein (SCV) cannulation can be performed using either supraclavicular (SC) or infraclavicular (IC) long-axis approach under ultrasound guidance (USG). However, their relative efficacy remains debatable. The aim of this study was to compare these two approaches in terms of safety, ease, success rate, and record the incidence of complications.
