Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Nephrology
  • Interventional Radiology

Context:

  • Large venous vessel cannulation is the primary method for immediate dialysis access.
  • Vascular access also facilitates drug administration and parenteral feeding.
  • Central venous catheterization is a common procedure in critical care and chronic disease management.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the outcomes and complication rates of central venous catheter implantation.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of cannulation in various venous sites.
  • To analyze the incidence and nature of complications associated with central venous access.

Summary:

  • The study analyzed 235 patients undergoing central venous catheter implantation, with subclavian vein (113), internal jugular vein (107), and femoral vein (15) as common sites.
  • Catheters were used for hemodialysis (223 patients) or drug administration (12 patients).
  • Observed complications included accidental artery puncture (20), catheter occlusion (25), and infectious complications (7.6%), with most being mild.

Impact:

  • Central venous cannulation is a safe procedure with a low complication rate (23%), predominantly mild (85%).
  • Infectious complications are infrequent (7.6%) and typically present with mild or asymptomatic courses.
  • This study supports the safety and reliability of central venous catheterization for essential medical interventions.
