Abstract
Currently, there is a decreasing trend in the utilization of central venous catheters among medical practitioners. However, the continued relevance of central venous catheters persists, particularly in scenarios involving emergent or critically ill patients where peripheral venous access proves challenging. The insertion of central venous catheters facilitates rapid delivery of fluids and pharmacotherapy crucial for resuscitative efforts. Employing real-time ultrasound guidance enhances procedural safety from mechanical injuries, increases success rate with limited attempt and diminishes associated risks like pneumothorax, arterial puncture, and hemorrhage. Emphasizing infection prevention remains paramount. The present article underscored contemporary and safer procedural methodologies for central venous catheterization, alongside adept management of procedural complications.
