1Emergency Medicine, East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, Stevenage, GBR.
Abstract:
Central venous catheter (CVC) placement is a common procedure in the hospital setting, with large numbers of patients undergoing central venous catheterisation every year worldwide. Central venous catheterisation is recommended to be done under real-time ultrasound guidance to decrease procedure-related complications. Nevertheless, complications are not infrequently encountered. One of the risky complications of central venous catheterisation is CVC misplacement. Here, we present an unusual case of inadvertent left vertebral vein central venous catheterisation and describe a simple method of management.
