As shown in Figure 1, a total of 99 patients were screened, and 91 were included. Clinical characteristics are shown in Table 1. Vascular accesses were jugular (28 right and 4 left) and subclavian veins (45 right and 14 left). Previous venous cannulation before patients’ intensive care unit (ICU) admission, obesity, and proximity of infected abdominal and/or vascular incisions made femoral access impracticable.
