Abstract
A cavalier approach on the part of some physicians, and poor research on the part of some equipment manufacturers, has made central venous catheterization more dangerous to the patient than it need be. Here, the relationship between these factors is discussed, with special reference to the fact that central venous catheterization is an invasive surgical operation which should not be taken lightly by its practitioners.Keywords
