The central venous catheter insertion is used for various
indications in hospitalized patients. The most commonly
used method for the insertion of the central venous
catheter is the percutaneous access technique known as the
Seldinger method. Although rarely seen, the advancement
of the central venous catheter into a nontargeted vessel
during insertion is a serious complication. The personnel
performing the procedure should be experienced and the
right technique should be used in order to decrease the
complications in central venous catheterization.
