ABSTRACT

Several central venous catheters are placed by physicians everyday, and the majority of these catheters have been inserted in emergency situations without imaging guidance. Despite the fact that these catheters had been inserted by physicians, many central venous catheters are malpositioned. However, the number of reported complications suggests that serious complications are rare. The controversy over optimal positioning of a catheter is a debate that continues. The focus of this article is to present an overview for nurses and physicians who insert central venous catheters in clinical practice.
