Sites for central venous catheter placement include the internal jugular, or the IJ vein, the subclavian vein or the femoral vein. It was traditionally thought that the femoral site should be avoided because the skin around the site of catheter placement has a greater bacterial density and is harder to keep clean.
Owing to this, it is believed that the tip of the catheter should be placed in the middle superior vena cava (SVC), outside the pericardial reflection enveloping the lower SVC. This corresponds to the level of the carina, 2 cm above the junction of the SVC and the right atrium (RA).
Youll be awake during the procedure, but numbing medicine will be used to minimize discomfort. A PICC line is usually inserted in a vein in your upper arm, above your elbow. Which arm is used depends on your particular situation, but usually the nondominant arm is used.
CVCs are typically placed in the internal jugular (IJV), subclavian, (SCV) or femoral veins (FV). Unfortunately, there still is no consensus on where central lines should be placed.
A central venous catheter (CVC) is a long, flexible tube your provider inserts into a vein in your neck, chest, arm or groin. It leads to your vena cava, a large vein that empties into your heart. A CVC helps you receive drugs, fluids or blood for emergency or long-term treatment.

Subclavian access is associated with a lower risk for infection and is the route of choice, in experienced hands, if the risk for infection is high (central venous catheter placement 57 days) or if the risk for mechanical complications is low.
