Excerpt

Sir: Although many studies have reported a higher incidence of catheter-related infection in internal jugular than subclavian access, we have no found study describing the internal jugular access used (posterior, central, or anterior) [1‐4]. In addition, we have recently published results of a study showing a higher incidence of central venous catheter related bacteremia (CVC-RB) using central than the posterior internal jugular venous access [5]. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of posterior internal jugular or subclavian venous accesses on the incidence of CVC-RB. …
