Ultrasound (US)‐guided axillary vein (AV) catheterization has been considered as the preferred site of insertion to minimize catheter‐related infections. Given its difficulty of realization, internal jugular vein (IJV) access remains, thus, the first choice of catheter insertion site. This descriptive study was aimed to assess the success and complication rates of in‐plane short axis approach of IJV in the lower neck and the AV approach under US‐guidance.
