Central Venous Catheter Complications

Pediatrics, 1983
To the Editor.— We read with interest the paper of Dolcourt and Bose.1 We commend them on their technical expertise and success rate in establishing central venous access. There are several conclusions with which we take issue. 1. Duration of Line Usage.

Stiffness of Central Venous Catheters

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 1983
Catheter stiffness has been suggested to be a principal factor in the thrombogenesis encountered after central venous cannulation. However, no data have been published to date about the stiffness of central venous catheters. A method for measuring catheter stiffness has been developed.

Central Venous Catheter Infections

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1988
When used wisely, central venous catheters are capable of providing vital circulatory access in any patient with a remarkably low risk of infection or major complication. Tunneled silicone catheters are the route of choice for long-term or outpatient use, particularly for oncology or TPN patients; insertion of such a catheter should occur early in the ...

Complications of central venous catheters

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2001
Central vein catheterization is frequently employed for monitoring, administration of drugs and parenteral nutrition in a variety of medical and surgical illnesses. Despite the widespread use of central vein access, both catheter-related infections and mechanical complications remain unacceptably common.

Central Venous Catheter Access

Nutrition, 1998
Central venous access for the purpose of supplying parenteral nutrition to the pediatric age group requires a careful definition of the patient's caloric need, estimated duration of therapy, and an assessment of available sites. Peripheral vein parenteral nutrition is limited by caloric density of the nutrient fluids, while peripherally inserted ...

Central Venous Catheters: Legal Issues

The Journal of Vascular Access, 2011
In dialysis patients, both central venous catheter (CVC) insertion and CVC use during the dialysis procedure pose important legal issues, because of potentially severe, even fatal, complications. The first issue is the decision of the kind of vascular access that should be proposed to patients: an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, a graft, or a CVC.

Approach to Fragmented Central Venous Catheters

Vascular, 2005
Prolonged venous access devices are needed in cancer patients for central venous access. Catheter fragmentation leading to catheter malfunction represents a rare problem. Herein we present our experience in the management of fragmented catheters. Between 2001 and 2003, 183 catheters were placed via the subclavian vein, and five cases of fragmented ...
