The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1988
With the increasing utilization of intravenous catheters, complications from their use may be anticipated. We report the case of one such complication, a venous catheter fragment embolization. A review of the literature addressing catheter embolization is provided. Specific recommendations are offered to the emergency physician in an effort to minimize

Catheter malfunction due to poor flow is a common problem. When it occurs early, the cause is generally technical. Late occurrences are most often related to thrombus formation. Several types of thrombus may be seen, differing by location and supposed mechanism of formation. The most common offender, however, is the fibrin sheath thrombus.

Nursing Standard, 1990
In the Nursing Standard supplement on catheter care, which I read and found very interesting, I came across a point which I intended to write about at the time but have been side tracked by other things.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, 2005
Abstract: As a busy dialysis and apheresis unit and a referral center for vascular access, we had 850 hemodialysis catheter insertions in 2004, and >16 000 since 1976. According to data from literature and our experience, insertion should be guided by real‐time ultrasonography whenever possible.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1971
Paradoxical polyethylene catheter embolism occurred in a 41-year-old woman. The fragment of intravenous catheter traversed a patent foramen ovale, lodged in a branch of a renal artery, and caused a renal infarct. When catheter embolism occurs and appropriate studies rule out the usual sites of embolism on the venous side of the circulation, paradoxical

Indwelling catheters: practical guidelines for catheter blockage
British Journal of Nursing, 2000Catheterization is a medical decision and requires a team approach involving, where possible, the patient and carer, as well as those professionals administering care. Catheterization and subsequent effective catheter drainage is associated with many dangers and complications (Lowthian, 1998) and therefore the decision to catheterize someone should ...

Venous catheters differ from peripheral arteriovenous (AV) access devices in many important ways. This discussion focuses on their performance as a conduit for blood flow between the patient and the dialyzer and on how catheter function is both limited and enhanced relative to the more common peripheral accesses.
