Middle way: Take the intersection of the line between 3 cm above the patient’s clavicle and 3 cm beside the median line as the puncture point, the needle and the patient’s skin are at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees, and the tip of the needle is pointed to the ipsilateral nipple, and it is often used to enter the vein in the middle and posterior part of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. 3. Posterior approach: The lower end of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the sternal head and the clavicular head, and the upper edge of the clavicle form a triangle, which is the sternocleidomastoid triangle, and the internal jugular vein is located in the center of this triangle.
