Abstract
We report the results of over 300 central venous and pulmonary artery catheterizations via the axillary vein. We found that the success rate with this method compares well with those of other catheterization routes, whilst the risk of mechanical injury, even for artificially ventilated patients, was virtually eliminated.Keywords
