This prospective randomized trial recruited patients aged 18 to 80 years with definite indications of subclavian vein cannulation. Real-time in-plane ultrasound-guided technique was used, and the subclavian vein was punctured at the junction of the brachiocephalic and IJV in supraclavicular approach (SC) and in oblique axis below the border of the clavicle in infraclavicular approach (IC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 96 patients were randomly allocated equally into two groups of 48 each, but only 45 patients in each group could be successfully cannulated. Median puncture times were comparable; 15 (9\u201339) s in SC and 21 (5\u201380) s in IC group. The first attempt success rate was 82.2% and 62.2%, and the mean total access time was 99.11 \u00b1 34.66 s and 103.44 \u00b1 50.27 s in SC and IC approaches, respectively and were comparable. The attempts of needle puncture were significantly higher in IC approach (1.40 \u00b1 0.54 vs 1.20 \u00b1 0.46 in SC approach;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.04).
