Ultrasound-Guided Subclavian Vein Cannulation in Neonate via Supraclavicular Approach

الملخص EN

Central venous cannulation of infants may be challenging.

Ultrasonography is recommended and has been found superior to classic landmark technique in pediatric central venous cannulation.

The cannulation of the subclavian vein using supraclavicular approach under real-time ultrasound guidance is a novel technique.

It may have advantages over ultrasound-guided jugular vein cannulation in specific patients.

We report a case of 3200-gram 20-day-old anencephalic neonate who had a diffuse generalized edema.

The neonate was cannulated successfully via subclavian vein using supraclavicular approach under ultrasound guidance.
