Summary of the outcomes of central venous cannulation through the SAX and LAX approaches in the subclavian vein and axillary vein
| Study or subgroup | No of patients | MD(95%CI) | Heterogeneity | Effects Model |
| SAX/LAX | I2(P-value) | |||
| LAX: Long-axis; SAX: Short-axis; SCV: Subclavian vein; AV: Axillary vein; RR: Relative risk; MD: Mean different; b: Favors long-axis; c:Significant difference; R-E: Random effects model. | ||||
| First-attempt success rate in SCV and AV[6, 9] | 138/138 | 1.41(1.08-1.85)b | I2=53%(P=0.01c) | R-E |
| Overall puncture success rate in SCV and AV[6, 9] | 138/138 | 1.15(1.00-1.32) | I2=69%(P=0.05) | R-E |
| Incidence of accidental arterial puncture in SCV and AV[6, 9] | 138/138 | 0.15(0.03-0.86)b | I2=0%(P=0.03c) | R-E |
| Incidence of hematoma in SCV and AV[6, 9] | 138/138 | 0.43(0.06-2.89) | I2=0%(P=0.39) | R-E |
