background: central venous catheters (cvcs) are used not only as a tool to access to central venous system, but also for hemodynamic monitoring, parenteral nutrition, chemotherapy and hemodialysis. the use of cvcs is associated with some complications notably infections that are troublesome both to patient and physician. we conducted this study to examine catheter fixation with skin fold techni...

background: the current study was designed to compare the complications and adverse eff ects of central venous catheter (cvc) insertion under ultrasound guidance in patients with and without coagulopathy. materials and methods: in this clinical trial,59 patients who needed cvc for various reasons were enrolled. patients were divided into two groups of those with and without coagulopathy based o...

conclusions the management was successful and this is an avoidable complication and several precautions are explained to avoid this. case presentation an 11-year-old male presents with inadvertent retention of guidewire during cvc. introduction retention of a guidewire is one of the rare but potentially serious complications of central venous catheterization (cvc).

conclusions considering possible side effects of heparin and the increase in treatment charges and the fact that using heparin did not have a significant effect on patency and survival of catheters in the studied patients, it is recommended to use normal saline solution to maintain the patency of central venous catheters. results there was no significant difference in the rate of flushing (p = ...

background: central venous catheters (cvcs) have been used widely in clinics. these catheters are also recommended for children and infants receiving chemotherapy and total parenteral nutrition (tpn) and etc. in this paper, we present migrated fractured control line of the heart of a girl. case presentation: a 2.5 year old girl with migrated of the fractured central line into the heart. in the ...

central venous catheterization (cvc) is a commonly performed procedure for venous access. it is associated with several complications. we report a rare case of extra luminal entrapment of guide wire during cvc placement in right jugular vein. we report a case of 28 years old female patient presented in our emergency with history of entrapped guide wire in right side of neck during cvc. x-ray sh...

conclusions we think one of the influential factors for leading a guidewire and catheter into a nominated vein may be the left sided bevel of the needle at the time of internal jugular vein needle and catheter insertion. we were required to continue going towards the subclavian vein and accidentally turned into the left internal mammary vein. introduction central venous catheter placement is a ...

background the invention of central venous catheters (cvc) for hemodialysis (hd), brought about a fundamental change in the treatment of patients who needed hd, from the late 1970’s till the present time. nowadays the use of cvc is a common medical procedure. increasing use of these methods necessitates clarification of the exact nature of the effects, and potential complications for surgeons. ...

conclusions most of the catheter-related deaths were due to severe sepsis and hemothorax, and a significant relationship was noted between infection and both the mortality rate and catheterization duration. a significant relationship was also evident between birth weight and infection rates. background developments in the use of central venous catheters have improved the treatment of critically...
