Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is the demonstration of an increase of over 50% of the surface visible on ultrasound (mm2) of the axillary vein and subclavian vein in arm abduction (90 °) and external rotation (90 °) with respect to the surface of the subclavian vein along the arm body.

Study Arms (1)

50 healthy volunteers

EXPERIMENTAL

The study population consists of healthy volunteers aged 18 to 50 years and without previous surgery, trauma, or thrombosis of the axilla or the shoulder girdle.

Procedure: Ultrasound measures

Interventions

Ultrasound measures PROCEDURE

Ultrasound will be used to measure the surfaces of the axillary and subclavian veins with the arms in different positions. Our goal is to compare the vein surface area available among different vein-position combinations. Our goal does not include testing specific devices.

50 healthy volunteers
