Figure 3.
(A) In a transverse plane on the neck, locate the thyroid, IJV, and carotid artery (CA) deep to the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle. (B) Slide the transducer down the IJV into the supraclavicular fossa until the subclavian artery (SCA) is noted.
Figure 4.
Angle the probe anteriorly (solid yellow arrow) to visualize the SCV as it joins the brachiocephalic vein (BCV). The external jugular vein (EJV) may be seen joining the SCV at this location.
Figure 5.
An in-plane technique will be used with the needle entering the skin just lateral to the ultrasound transducer. The operator should use the nondominant hand to stabilize the transducer on the patient’s neck. SCV; IJV; BCV.
