A central venous catheter (CVC) is usually placed to replace the spilled blood volume or inject a vasopressor. Among catheterizations, anatomy of femoral vessel lesser complex than that others, and catheterization most easily cannulated percutaneously. However, endovascular training should be considered complete deployment prevent complications systematically. Therefore, this study aimed share ...

Catheterization of the central vein is commonly attempted to obtain central venous access for hemodynamic monitoring, management and administration of fluids in some surgical procedures [1]. Pulmonary arterial catheterization (PAC) is a central catheterization technique and an important part of the management of cardiac surgical procedures, accepted for treating patients with shock states. Comp...

Central venous catheterization is widely used in the emergency setting. This review aims to assess central venous catheterization from the perspectives of types of catheters, sites of insertion, and techniques. In emergency conditions, non-tunneled catheters are preferred because the technique for its insertion is not complicated and less time-consuming. The size of catheter depends on the purp...

PURPOSE The objective of this continuing professional development module is to describe the role of ultrasound for central venous catheterization and to specify its benefits and limitations. Although ultrasound techniques are useful for all central venous access sites, the focus of this module is on the internal jugular vein approach. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In recent years, several studies were p...

Central venous catheterization is typically used for the anesthetic management of patients undergoing a major surgery or care of patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The occurrence of complications associated with central venous catheterization such as pneumothorax or vascular injury have decreased, while delayed complications such as hydrothorax, hydromediastinum, or cardiac tamponade have r...

Central venous catheterization as a frequent routine clinical procedure may have significant complications. Mechanical complications may occur during catheter placement, whereas thromboembolic and infectious complications can be seen during follow-up. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) associated central venous catheterizations may result in early mechanical complications and thrombotic and infec...

Central venous catheterization is a typical technique performed in the emergency department and intensive care unit. Most subclavian vein access may be inserted without help, using anatomic landmarks alone. This study aimed to present precise procedure of central via endovascular techniques simulation video clip.
