Formalin-embalmed cadavers provide a safe, stress-free, and effective means by which to train students in subclavian vein access using both palpation and ultrasound-based techniques. Repeated practice accessing and aspirating fluid from a cadaveric subclavian vein significantly increases trainee confidence, an essential factor in physician performance that may lead to fewer complications. Introducing this type of low-risk and hands-on practice may be beneficial for trainees before they attempt subclavian vein access on live patients.
