  • Title: Central venous catheterisation.
    Author: Ross AH, Anderson JR, Walls AD.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 1980 Nov; 62(6):454-8. PubMed ID: 6776868.
    Abstract:
    Eighty-one central venous catheter placements have been carried out with a serious-complication rate of 3.7%. Major long-term complications occurred in 5 patients. Malplacement of the catheter was more common when the infraclavicular subclavian route was used. Inadvertent removal occurred on 10 occasions and a new design of catheter hub is expected to eliminate this problem.
