ABSTRACT
In this study, for one year ›t was analyzed that our central venous catheter interventions in emergency department retrospectively.
In this study, in 2006 for twenty months we interventioned 195 patients inserted central venous catheter in emergency department retrospectively.
Internal jugular vein was frequently used for central venous catheterization (% 78.9). In the unit of patients indication of catheterization was fluid replacement and measurement of central venous pressure (55.3 %). The most freuquent rension of urgent admission was traffic accident in surgical emergency cases (17,4 %), and cerebrovascular disease in internal emergency cases (10.7 %). The complication developed in internal jugular vein catheterization (14,9 %), subclavian vein catheterization (25 %), and femoral vein catheterization (28.5 %), respectively. The most frequent complications were arterial catheterization in internal juguler road (7.7 %), femoral infections in femoral vein (14.2 %), and catheter disfunctions in subclavian vein (20 %).
Central venous catheter intervention is crucial especially in emergency department. Internal jugular vein is prefential road owing to less complication.
