Disease relevance of Catheterization, Central Venous

• A case is described, in which suppurative thrombosis of the superior vena cava, complicated central venous catheterization [1].
• Samples obtained during a central venous catheterization showed significant renal extraction of circulating VIP in control subjects (median extraction fraction 23%, P less than 0.05, n = 6) and in patients with cirrhosis (median 60%, P less than 0.02, n = 8), but not in uraemic patients (median 0%, NS n = 5) [2].
• Potentially predisposing factors for thrombosis in AIDS include central venous catheterization, malignancy, elevated anticardiolipin antibodies, alteration of vascular endothelial cell function reflected in low free protein S levels, and enhanced endothelial procoagulant activity related to cytomegalovirus [3].

High impact information on Catheterization, Central Venous

• PTA was also associated with a significant decrease in access-related morbidity by approximately halving the risk of hospitalization, central venous catheterization, and thrombectomy (P < 0.05) [4].
• Three patients are presented with complete occlusion of the superior vena cava secondary to prolonged central venous catheterization [5].
• The results of central venous catheterization for total parenteral nutrition were prospectively evaluated in 200 consecutive patients [6].
• We describe a case of steroid-induced ML leading to difficulty in central venous catheterization during surgery and its other implications for anesthesiologists [7].
• METHODS: Forty-nine Sprague-Dawley rats, 290 to 360 g body wt, underwent identical surgical manipulation consisting of central venous catheterization, fashioning of gastrostomy and dorsal skin incision, and placement of polyvinyl alcohol sponges into subcutaneous pockets [8].

Anatomical context of Catheterization, Central Venous

• Complications of central venous catheterization of the subclavian vein: the influence of a parenteral nutrition team [9].
• Therefore variations of the superior vena cava should be considered, especially when central venous catheterization via the subclavian or internal jugular vein is difficult [10].

Associations of Catheterization, Central Venous with chemical compounds

• Central venous catheterization for parenteral nutrition [11].
• Care of the central venous catheterization site: the use of a transparent polyurethane film [12].
• Material thrombogenicity in central venous catheterization. I. A comparison between uncoated and heparin-coated, long antebrachial, polyethylene catheters [13].
• The effect of local antiseptic, chlorhexidine, in preventing infection from central venous catheterization. A clinical study [14].

Gene context of Catheterization, Central Venous

• Time control studies performed in five individuals subjected to central venous catheterization and an identical hypertonic saline infusion failed to show significant spontaneous changes in AVP during a comparable interval after the infusions but without LBNP [15].
