Area of Science:

  • Medical Procedures
  • Anatomy
  • Surgical Training

Background:

  • Subclavian puncture is a critical medical procedure.
  • Current teaching methods may present challenges for novices.
  • A need exists for simplified and reliable techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new landmark for subclavian puncture.
  • To present a novel technique for performing and teaching subclavian punctures.
  • To assess the efficacy of the new technique for novice practitioners.

Main Methods:

  • Identification of a new anatomical landmark: a tubercle on the deltopectoral groove.
  • Development of a specific technique utilizing this landmark.
  • Evaluation of the technique's success rate in inexperienced clinicians and nursing personnel.

Main Results:

  • A specific tubercle on the deltopectoral groove was identified as a reliable landmark.
  • This landmark was palpable in 92% of examined individuals.
  • Novice clinicians and nursing staff achieved successful subclavian punctures after one or two attempts using the described technique.

Conclusions:

  • The newly identified tubercle provides an easily palpable landmark for subclavian puncture.
  • The described technique simplifies the procedure, enabling rapid mastery by novices.
  • This approach enhances the safety and efficiency of subclavian puncture training and performance.
