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.

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.

Central Venous Catheterization-Reply

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982
In Reply.— Dr Mitchell describes what we have found to be a common occurrence among physicians who have compared the SC and IC routes with subclavian vein catheterization. In our experience, there has been a preference for the SC approach, especially among the residents in emergency medicine, because it is both easier to perform and also associated ...

Central Venous Catheterization in the Emergency Setting

Critical Care Medicine, 1983
To determine the appropriateness and rate of complications from central venous catheterization (CVC) in the emergency department of a university teaching hospital, criteria for justifiability were established and all such catheterizations during a 1-yr period were reviewed.
