Internal jugular line. Survey Findings. One RCT comparing chlorhexidine (2% aqueous solution without alcohol) with povidoneiodine (10% without alcohol) for skin preparation reports equivocal findings for catheter colonization and catheter-related bacteremia (Category A3-E evidence).73 An RCT comparing chlorhexidine (2% with 70% isopropyl alcohol) with povidoneiodine (5% with 69% ethanol) with or without scrubbing finds lower rates of catheter colonization for chlorhexidine (Category A3-B evidence) and equivocal evidence for dec reased catheter-related bloodstream infection (Category A3-E evidence).74 A third RCT compared two chlorhexidine concentrations (0.5% or 1.0% in 79% ethanol) with povidoneiodine (10% without alcohol), reporting equivocal evidence for colonization (Category A3-E evidence) and catheter-related bloodstream infection (Category A3-E evidence).75 A quasiexperimental study (secondary analysis of an RCT) reports a lower rate of catheter-related bloodstream infection with chlorhexidine (2% with 70% alcohol) than povidoneiodine (5% with 69% alcohol) (Category B1-B evidence).76 The literature is insufficient to evaluate the safety of antiseptic solutions containing chlorhexidine in neonates, infants and children.

Next, place the larger (20- to 22-gauge) needle immediately. Meta-analyses from other sources are reviewed but not included as evidence in this document. The consultants and ASA members agree with the recommendations to (1) select the smallest size catheter appropriate for the clinical situation; (2) select a thin-wall needle (i.e., Seldinger) technique versus a catheter-over-the-needle (i.e., modified Seldinger) technique for the subclavian approach; (3) select a thin-wall needle or catheter-over-the-needle technique for the jugular or femoral approach based on the clinical situation and the skill/experience of the operator; and (4) base the decision to use a thin-wall needle technique or a catheter-over-the-needle technique at least in part on the method used to confirm that the wire resides in the vein before a dilator or large-bore catheter is threaded. window the image to best visualize the line.
