Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Vascular Access
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Central venous access devices (CVADs) are crucial for administering therapies and monitoring critically ill patients.
  • However, their insertion is associated with potential complications that can impact patient outcomes.
  • Understanding these risks is essential for healthcare providers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe the primary complications associated with the insertion of central venous access devices.
  • To provide a foundation for understanding the risks involved in CVAD placement.
  • To inform clinical practice and improve patient safety during device insertion.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on central venous access device insertion complications.
  • Analysis of reported primary complications, focusing on those occurring during or immediately after the insertion procedure.
  • Categorization of complications based on their nature and clinical significance.

Main Results:

  • Primary complications include pneumothorax, hemothorax, arterial puncture, nerve injury, and infection at the insertion site.
  • The incidence and severity of these complications vary depending on the insertion site, device type, and operator experience.
  • Timely recognition and management are critical for mitigating adverse events.

Conclusions:

  • Insertion of central venous access devices carries inherent risks of primary complications.
  • Awareness of these potential complications is paramount for clinicians performing the procedure.
  • This review serves as a critical resource for healthcare professionals aiming to minimize risks associated with CVAD insertion.
