Core Tip

Core Tip: A total of 1042 patients were included in this retrospective study. All central venous catheters were inserted in the emergency room. This study included 10 years of experience in our emergency department. In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of hospitalization time and mortality, sensitivity was 71%, and specificity was 89% (P = 0.040). Complications in the subclavian vein and femoral vein were observed more frequently in the long term. Jugular vein catheterization can be preferred primarily due to the difficulties in application and due to the low number of complications.
