[The use of a transillumination method for locating the subclavian vein for its catheterization. A preliminary study].
After commenting brief on the complications related to the cannulation of the subclavian vein, the paper outlines a simple and original method for finding the latter. An illuminator optical fibre is inserted in the fore region of the elbow and this enables the subclavian vein to be located by transillumination.
