Abstract
Central venous catheters play an important role in the care of critically ill patients. There are many different indications for placing a central venous cathether but in emergency medicine, the most common indications include fluid resuscitation and drug infusions or medication administration that could otherwise cause phlebitis or sclerosis such as vasopressors and hyperosmolar solutions as well as the need for multiple infusions may be incompatible with peripheral intravenous access such as total parenteral nutrition administration. Furthermore, it may be necessary as an emergency venous access due to difficult peripheral intravenous access.
Why the subclavian vein central venous catheter is more preferred?
The subclavian vein site has numerous advantages:
• Easier nursing care, easier to keep dry, reducing infection risk
• Increased patient’s comfort as it is away from the neck and its range of motion
• Lower risk of catheter-associated deep vein thrombosis, compared to the internal jugular or femoral sites.
