Central venous catheterisation.

A H Ross, J R Anderson, A D Walls

    Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
    |November 1, 1980

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Central venous catheter placement has a low serious complication rate of 3.7%. The infraclavicular subclavian route showed more malplacements, and a new hub design may prevent inadvertent catheter removal.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical procedures
    • Vascular access
    • Patient safety

    Background:

    • Central venous catheters (CVCs) are crucial for patient care.
    • Complications associated with CVC placement require careful monitoring and prevention strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the complication rates of central venous catheter placements.
    • To identify specific routes associated with higher risks of malplacement.
    • To assess the incidence of inadvertent catheter removal.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 81 central venous catheter placements.
    • Documentation of all serious and long-term complications.
    • Comparison of complication rates across different insertion routes.

    Main Results:

    • A serious-complication rate of 3.7% was observed in 81 CVC placements.
    • Five patients experienced major long-term complications.
    • Malplacement was more frequent with the infraclavicular subclavian approach.
    • Inadvertent removal occurred in 10 instances.

    Conclusions:

    • Central venous catheterization can be performed with a low rate of serious complications.
    • The infraclavicular subclavian route poses a higher risk for catheter malplacement.
    • A novel catheter hub design shows promise in reducing inadvertent removal incidents.
