Article Synopsis
- Long-term venous access is crucial for administering treatments like chemotherapy and antibiotics, typically done through the Seldinger technique or surgical methods.
- A five-year study tracked 1,101 central venous catheter procedures in patients over 18, recording demographic data, complications, and catheter placement methods.
- Results showed a high success rate with low complications, but a concerning number of misplaced catheters, suggesting that using fluoroscopy could help improve accuracy in future procedures.
