Other complications (thrombosis, embolism, haematomediastinum and hydromediastinum, haematothorax and hydrothorax, pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, nerve injury) · patients with internal jugular vein cannulation for central vein catheterization

Ultrasound guidance probably leads to lower other complications (thrombosis, embolism, haematomediastinum and… compared with anatomical landmarks (moderate certainty).
