Complications of Central Venous Catheterisation Breakage of guidewire-a disaster averted
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
Central venous catheterisation (CVC) is a common bedside invasive procedure done in medical practice. Even though it is a safe procedure when done with ultrasound guidance, difculties and complications do occur even in experienced hands. Here, we describe the difculties encountered in the form of the breakage of the guidewire while inserting a CVC in a patient with sickle cell disease.
