Central venous catheterization is vital but has a 15% complication rate. Proper technique, site selection, and maintenance minimize risks for central venous access.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Procedures
  • Vascular Access

Background:

  • Central venous catheterization is a critical medical procedure.
  • It is associated with significant complication rates, estimated around 15%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To offer updated information on central venous catheterization.
  • To review indications, insertion techniques, and complication prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on central venous catheterization.
  • Analysis of data on insertion techniques and complication management.

Main Results:

  • Central venous catheterization, while lifesaving, carries a 15% complication risk.
  • Minimizing mechanical complications requires operator experience and site knowledge.
