Central venous catheterization of the subclavian vein showed the lowest risks for bloodstream infections and symptomatic thrombosis compared with insertions at the jugular or femoral veins.

Catheterizations involving the femoral vein (in the upper, inner thigh), jugular vein (in the neck) and subclavian vein (beneath the clavicle) are routinely performed during critically ill patient ...
