Editor—We would like to thank Dr Farooq for his interest on our article. However, there seems to be some misunderstanding. The practical purpose of our study was not to prove that a CXR may be omitted after central venous catheterization, but to minimize post-procedural adjustments of central venous catheter insertion depth. We agree that our technique is not so helpful for patients without pri...

This descriptive, prospective cohort study aimed to analyze the process of central venous catheterization in neonatal intensive care and pediatric units; describe the variables related to study characterization, including admission unit, age, and sex; and to investigate related variables, such as catheter type, reason for insertion, number of lumens, insertion site, type of professional who per...

Iatrogenic carotid artery injury may result from various medical procedures. We describe a nearly devastating complication such as the occurrence of cervical compartment syndrome following the attempt of a transjugular central venous catheterization. A vascular surgical approach was conducted to treat this rare clinical finding that has not been described in the literature until recently.

We are reporting a case of possible entrapment of guide wire in the region of tricuspid valve, which made it impossible to remove the guide wire from internal jugular (IJ) vein for a short while. Awareness about this rare complication is emphasized.

Central venous catheters are routinely placed in patients undergoing major surgeries where expected volume and hemodynamic disturbances are likely consequences. The incorrect positioning may give false central venous pressure (CVP) readings leading to incorrect volume replacement and other serious complications. 50 American Society of Anaesthesiologists grade II-IV patients aged 18-60 years wer...
