Effect of Shoulder Retraction on Success Rate of Subclavian Vein Catheterization

January 14, 2013 updated by: Jae-Hyon Bahk, MD, PhD, Seoul National University Hospital
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the shoulder retraction by placing a saline bag between the scapula influences a success rate of subclavian vein catheterization.
