What is "median cubital vein"?
The median cubital vein is a superficial vein located in the antecubital fossa of the arm, connecting the cephalic vein and the basilic vein. It is commonly used for venipuncture procedures, such as drawing blood or administering intravenous medications. The location and accessibility of the median cubital vein make it a preferred choice for medical procedures, as it is less prone to movement and provides a stable access point.
