Both subclavian veins—right and left—are located underneath the clavicle (collarbone). The subclavian vein is a large paired, deep vein that extends along each side of the neck.

The presence of upper extremity or subclavian thrombosis is another contraindication for bedside PICC insertion, whether or not ultrasound ... The internal jugular vein, particularly the right ...

When clinicians are still unable to place IVs using ultrasound probes, they must resort to placing central venous catheters (CVCs) into large veins (internal jugular, subclavian or femoral veins ...

For the study, researchers randomly assigned 3,027 patients to have catheters placed in one of three locations: nontunneled central venous catheterization to the subclavian, jugular, or femoral vein.

(HealthDay News) — A multi-angle needle guide can improve ultrasound-guided catheterization of the subclavian vein, according to a study published online August 28 in Anaesthesia.
