Abstract

Central venous catheters are now seen regularly in hospital and community settings as well as specialist and critical care areas. This paper complements a previous one on the measurement of central venous pressure which appeared in Nursing Times on September 18 (p.38) and outlines management issues related to central venous catheters.
