131 Saudi Journal of Anesthesia / Volume 17 / Issue 1 / January-March 2023 To the editor, Central venous catheterization (CVC) is an essential part of clinical management in major surgeries. Unusual patient position (prone or lateral) poses anesthesiologist challenges during CVC insertion.[1] Several different major vessel sites like the internal jugular vein (IJV) and popliteal vein have been explored for CVC cannulation during the prone position.[1‐3] The objective of this report is to describe a novel approach for ultrasound (US)‐guided CVC insertion; the left brachiocephalic vein (BCV) cannulation in the prone position. Written and informed consent for publication was taken from the patient.
