TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 51. Troubleshooting Indwelling Central Venous Lines A1 - Reichman, Eric F. Y1 - 2013 N1 - T2 - Emergency Medicine Procedures, 2e AB - Indwelling central venous lines are an essential part of the care of both the acutely and chronically ill patients. These patients may require implanted venous access devices due to their poor peripheral venous access or for long-term intravenous therapies. When an indwelling central venous line is malfunctioning, the Emergency Physician must act quickly and thoughtfully to diagnose and correct the malfunction without further damaging the device. Understanding the different etiologies and a thorough assessment are critical to the successful management of a central venous catheter malfunction.
