Ultrasound or Doppler guidance vs anatomical landmarks

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

It is very uncertain whether ultrasound or Doppler guidance changes other complications (thrombosis, embolism, haematomediastinum and… compared with anatomical landmark (very low certainty).
