Preventing Complications of Central Venous Catheterization

New England Journal of Medicine, 2003
Central venous catheters permit the measurement of hemodynamic variables that cannot be measured accurately by noninvasive means. They also allow delivery of medications and nutritional support. More than 15 percent of patients, however, have a serious mechanical, infectious, or thrombotic complication related to the use of a central venous catheter ...

A Safe Technique of Central Venous Catheterization

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1982
A modified techniquue of internal jugular catheterization is described, especially suitable for patients in whom subclavian vein catheterization may be dangerous. After introduction into the internal jugular vein, the catheter is tunneled to exit on the chest wall, using the same needle used for venipuncture.

Central Venous Catheterization in Patients With Coagulopathy

Archives of Surgery, 1992
To explore the risk of bleeding complications during percutaneous central venous catheterization in patients with coagulopathy, 40 liver transplant recipients underwent 259 percutaneous central venous catheterizations. Two hundred two catheterizations were performed in patients with coagulopathy, as evidenced by their prothrombin times, activated ...
