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
