How do you Cannulate subclavian veins?

What is the best position for subclavian central line insertion?
The current results suggest that the optimal shoulder position for reliable and safe subclavian venipuncture seems to be within 5 cm below neutral.
Why do we Cannulate the right subclavian vein?
Right subclavian cannulation, versus left, is sometimes preferred because it avoids the thoracic duct and because the right pleural apex is lower than the left.
Which of the following is a complication associated with subclavian vein cannulation?

Where should tip of IJ be?
The tip of the right sided IJV cannula should ideally lie just above the level of the carina 2. This is the junction of the left and right innominate veins with the superior vena cava (SVC).
What is the most common complication of subclavian vein implantation?
