Safety evaluation of ultrasound location in axillary venipuncture / 中华急诊医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the success rate and safety of axillary venipuncture catheterization with ultrasound localization and homologous surface localization(Magney).Method A total of 80 patients were enrolled in the EICU from January 2017 to September 2018.They were randomly assigned to the Magney method(n=35)and the ultrasound-guided method(n=45).The number of successful punctures,success rate and complications were recorded.Results Compared with ultrasound-guided method,the one-time success rate(25.7％vs 68.9％,P＜0.01),puncture greater than 2 times(34.3％vs 11.1％,P=0.012),and total success rate(82.9％vs 100％,P=0.004)in Magney method were significantly different.Both of the two puncture methods were mis-invasive,and the difference was not statistically significant.In Magney method 2 patients occurred hematoma and 1 patient brachial plexus injury,but no infection occurred within 48 h.While no such occurrence was found in ultrasound-guided method.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided method axillary venipuncture is a safe and effective method of central venous catheterization,which has higher success rate and safety than Magney method.
