| Popis: | Central venous catheterization is a common procedure in the intensive care unit. The vessels usually selected for access include those of the arm and the external and internal jugular, subclavian and femoral veins. We find the axillary vein also suitable. It is a safe and reliable route with few complications, and is especially recommended in ventilated and/or tracheotomized patients. We describe our experience in 80 patients, with a success rate of 90% and very few complications. |
