phlebostatic axis?

[j.shot]

maybe i'm just a dumb grunt (army nursing student) but, one of my instuctors here posted a question for the class 3 months ago and we still have been unable to ascertain an answer...

what does the phlebostatic axis point to? i know the phlebostatic axis is a reference point that points to the RA but, our instructor was/is looking for something more specific.

thanx for any help.

I think your instructor was maybe looking for the 4th intercostal space, midaxillary line.
