Feasibility of the ultrasound-guided supraclavicular cannulation of the brachiocephalic vein in very small weight infants: A case series.
The aim of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the clinical feasibility of the supraclavicular ultrasound-guided cannulation of the brachiocephalic vein in infants weighing less than 1500 g. ⋯ Supracalvicular in-plane real-time ultrasound-guided cannulation of the brachiocephalic vein seems to be a convenient and feasible option to provide large-bore central venous access for very small and sick babies.
