Aims:
Psychiatric disorders and treatment with conventional antipsychotic medications have been associated with venous thromboembolism, but only a few data on recent antipsychotics such as olanzapine are available.
Methods:
We describe four subjects treated with olanzapine who developed venous thromboembolism, and were hospitalized at the University Hospital in Hradec Kralove during the period 2004-2006.
Results:
We found a combination of several clinical and laboratory risk factors in our patients.
Conclusions:
A cohort study or case-control studies are needed to better elucidate the possible role of olanzapine in etiopathogenesis of venous thromboembolism.

Central Venous Catheter Insertion: Subclavian Vein
Central venous access is necessary in a multitude of clinical situations for hemodynamic monitoring, medication delivery, and blood sampling. There are three veins in the body that are accessed for central venous cannulation: the internal jugular, the subclavian, and the femoral vein.
Central venous access via the subclavian vein has several advantages over other possible locations. The subclavian...
