Abstract

Hassan Baallal, Miloud Gazzaz and Brahim El mostarchid

Central venous catheters have a long and varied history of successful use. Integral to modern critical care, these vascular access devices serve as a means for the administration of dextrose and nutritional solutions, medications, colloid, and blood products. In addition, hemodynamic monitoring can be performed through larger Central venous catheters. Previously recommended for patient requiring long-term treatment, current literature supports the use of central venous catheters for short- to long-term treatment, for therapies that produce damage to the peripheral veins and tissue for patients with limited peripheral venous access.
