This vein communicates with the basilic vein via the median cubital vein at the elbow and is located in the superficial fascia along the anterolateral surface of the biceps brachii muscle. Near the shoulder, the cephalic vein passes between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles (deltopectoral groove) and through the deltopectoral triangle, where it empties into the axillary vein.
What is cephalic vein?

What is IO (Intraosseous IV)?
400
PICC's were first described in this year as an alternative to central venous catheters such as subclavian lines, internal jugular lines or femoral lines, which have higher rates of infection—subclavian and jugular line placements may result in pneumothorax (air in the pleural space of lung).
