Is US-guided guided supraclavicular cannulation of the BCV in very-low-birth-weight preterm infants associated with a reduced incidence of CLABSI compared to standard ECCs?
The objective of this study was to assess the risk of central line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) of ultrasound (US)-guided cannulation of the brachiocephalic vein (BCV) compared to standard epicutaneous cava catheters (ECCs) in preterm infants.
