Which of the following is the best method to assess the subclavian vein with ultrasound?*Start scan in transverse plane of vesselsPlace probe above the lateral clavicle and then slide caudallyLimit the pressure on your probe to avoid collapsing the vein.All of the above2. Which of the following interfere with finding the subclavian vein on ultrasound?*The pleura and air filled lungThe sternocleidomastoid muscle attachmentThe second ribThe clavicle3.What is the preferred method of ultrasound guided subclavian vein access?*Transverse - because it has the least risk of pneumothorax or hemothoraxLongitudinal - because you can see both the artery and the vein in this viewTransverse - because you can only see the vein in this viewLongitudinal - because decreased risk of perforating the posterior wall of the veinUltrasound use in post catheter placement is:*A. Can be used to evaluate pleural line for pneumothoraxB .Line best seen in longitudinal viewC. Not recommendedD. Both A and B5.What is the expected depth when looking for subclavian vessels?*Less than 1 cmBetween 2-3 cmBetween 3-5
