Central venous catheter malposition
Abstract
Central
venous catheter (CVC) is a process used on patients who need continous
intravenous medication and nutrition support. Seldinger percutaneous technique
is often used to place the central venous catheter. Internal jugular vein,
femoral and subclavian vein are used the most. Life threatening complications
are seen more frequently in patients with central venous catheterisation. Short
term compications are; artery punction, pneumothorax, hemothorax, arythmia,
tamponade, air embolism, nearby nerve injury, guide wire staying inside the
vein, aorta injury, catheter rupture, vein or atrium perforation. In long term,
arteriovenous fistula, arterial and venous aneurism, venous trombose and
various infections can occur due to catheter location and duration. A woman
with central venous catheter swivel was reported in this case.
