Abstract
Central venous catheterization is a very regular procedure done in many clinical conditions for a different of indications. Central lines insertion can cause complications and there are various difficulties that are usually associated with catheter placement. Complications can be presented just after or during procedure and delayed fashion .Remarkable morbidity and mortality can be resulted from complications that are related to central venous access. These complications usually creates a significant healthcare burden in expense, increase hospital days etc. Make progress in imaging, techniques of access, and modern medical devices have decreased and altered the types of hazards encountered in clinical practice. Though most of difficulties still accounted in vascular injury, infection, misplacement and missing of guide wire. To prevent this type of complication what measures should be taken also explained in details with recommendation.
Keywords: Catheterization central venous, catheters, complications.
