Subclavian vein (SCV) catheterization via the supraclavicular (SSV) or infraclavicular (ISV) approaches under real time ultrasonographic (USG) guidance is being performed routinely in critically ill patients in ICU.The aim of this study is comparative evaluation of SSV and ISV approaches in terms of success rate, time taken and incidence of complications.
