Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Choice of route for central venous cannulation: subclavian or internal jugular vein? A prospective randomized study.

The usual route for catheter placement is by either the subclavian or internal jugular vein. ⋯ One hundred consecutive patients requiring elective central venous cannulation were randomized to either the subclavian or internal jugular route. Successful venipuncture and catheter passage were significantly more common with the subclavian route, and in the absence of special clinical situations, it appears to be the route of choice.
