How To Do Infraclavicular Subclavian Vein Cannulation
Positioning
Raise the bed to a comfortable height for you (ie, so you may stand straight while doing the procedure). Place the patient supine or in Trendelenburg position (bed tilted with the head down 10 to 20°) to prevent air embolism. Keep the patient's arm adducted and the head neutral. Stand at the side of the bed.
