Complications of central venous catheterization

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1979
The complications of central venous catheterization are discussed in a review of experience and of the literature. The anatomy surrounding the subclavian and internal jugular veins is described. Indications and contraindications of catheterization are reported. Common and unusual complications are discussed and illustrated.

Central Venous Catheterization

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2015
ObjectivesTo assess the self‐reported frequency of use of ultrasound guidance for central venous catheterization by emergency medicine (EM) residents, describe residents' perceptions regarding the use of ultrasound guidance, and identify barriers to the use of ultrasound guidance.MethodsA longitudinal cross‐sectional study was conducted at 5 academic ...

Technical aspects of central venous catheterization

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 1998
Central venous access has been widely used in the treatment of different categories of patients but it is associated with a wide range of complications. Different catheters, approaches and techniques have been employed to minimize those complications related to catheter insertion as well as those related to the prolonged use of catheters.

Arteriovenous fistulas following central venous catheterization

Intensive Care Medicine, 1983
We report three patients in whom arteriovenous fistulas probably occurred following placement of central venous catheters. Two fistulas apparently followed internal jugular vein catheterization (or attempts), and one was demonstrated angiographically following subclavian vein cannulation.

Breast abscess following central venous catheterization

Intensive Care Medicine, 1991
We describe a case of late perforation of the right internal mammary vein by a central venous catheter inserted via the left subclavian vein. This resulted in extravasation of parenteral nutritional fluid and breast abscess formation. Delay in reaching the diagnosis was experienced in this case and in two cases previously reported.

Arteriovenous Fistula Following Central Venous Catheterization

Archives of Surgery, 1986
We surgically obliterated arteriovenous fistulas in three cases that developed after subclavian catheterization. The first patient presented with heart failure two years after the catheterization, and the other two presented with asymptomatic continuous bruits.

Central Venous Catheterization

2001
Central venous catheterization is frequently required in critically ill patients to facilitate fluid resuscitation; to administer vasoactive agents, sedative agents, antibiotics as well as myriad other medications; as well as to provide access for various dialytic approaches.

Complications of Central Venous Catheterization

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2007
Roberto Kusminsky, MD, contributed an exhaustive review of the topic, in his article, “Complications of Central Venous Catheterization.” Particularly prescient was the discussion of less common complications associated with central venous access (CVA), such as, malposition, arterial cannulations, perforations of the great vessels, guidewire problems ...

Air Embolism After Central Venous Catheterization

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1985
Air embolism--the most dangerous complication of central venous catheterization--may occur in several ways. The most frequent is from disconnection of the catheter from the related intravenous tubing. An embolism may present with a sucking sound, tachypnea, air hunger, wheezing, hypotension and a "mill wheel" murmur.

Contamination reduction during central venous catheterization

Critical Care Medicine, 1988
This study examined a simple technique for reducing contamination during catheterization of the internal jugular vein. Sixty patients were assigned randomly to receive either a traditional iodophor skin cleansing or an alcohol cleansing, followed by application of an iodophor-impregnated sterile film.
