  • anatomical anomaly of subclavian vein

Treatment and study plan

position of shoulder retraction

Procedure

position of shoulder retraction by placing a saline bag between the scapula

position of neutral shoulder

Procedure

neutral shoulder position during subclavian vein catheterization

Primary outcomes

  1. catheterization success rate

    Time frame: immediately after catheterization (an expected average of 1 hour)

    Subclavian vein catheterization will be performed after the induction of anesthesia and before the start of surgery.

Secondary outcomes

  1. location of catheter tip

    Time frame: an expected average of one day after surgery

    Postoperative chest X-ray will be taken to check for the location of catheter tip immediately after surgery.
