BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Brachiocephalic vein is a novel site for central venous cannulation in infants. It becomes useful in patients where the internal jugular vein lumen is small (e.g., volume deficient patient), patients with a history of multiple cannulations, and in whom subclavian puncture is contraindicated.

METHODS: In this randomized double-blinded study, 100 patients, aged between 0 and 1 year scheduled for elective central venous cannulation were recruited. The patients were allocated into two groups (50 patients in each). Group I patients had ultrasound (US) guided cannulation of the left brachiocephalic vein (BCV) by inserting a needle in-plane to the US probe from lateral to the medial direction, whereas Group II patients underwent cannulation of the BCV via an out-of-plane approach.

RESULTS: The first-attempt success rate was significantly higher in Group I (74%) than in Group II (36%) (p < 0.001). The total success rate was higher in group I (98%) than in group II (88%) however the difference was statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). The mean BCV cannulation time was significantly shorter in group I (35.46 ± 25.10) than in group II (65.24 ± 40.26) (p < 0.001). The rate of unsuccessful BCV cannulation (12%) and hematoma development (12%) was significantly higher in group II than in group I (2%).

CONCLUSION: Compared to the out-of-plane approach of left BCV cannulation, US-guided in-plane cannulation of the left BCV increased the first-attempt success rate, decreased the number of puncture attempts, and decreased the time required for cannulation.
