  • Title: We still go for the jugular: implications of the 3SITES central venous catheter study for nephrology.
    Author: Wyatt CM, Vassalotti JA.
    Journal: Kidney Int; 2016 Mar; 89(3):522-4. PubMed ID: 26880443.
    Abstract:
    The 3SITES study randomly assigned a nontunneled central venous catheter site in over 3000 adults treated in intensive care units. The subclavian site was associated with a lower rate of short-term complications, including catheter-related bloodstream infection and deep venous thrombosis, compared to the femoral or internal jugular site. Nephrologists should be aware of this study and should continue to advocate for alternatives to subclavian vein catheter placement in patients with chronic kidney disease who are expected to require arteriovenous access for dialysis in the future.
