title: [Complications of subclavian vein punctures and catheterization and the means for their prevention].
abstract: The analysis and systematization of errors and complications of punctures and catheterization of subclavian veins in 406 patients have been performed. Complications due to the technique of punctures and catheterization were recorded in 47 patients (11.6%). Complications appearing during using the catheter were noted in 46 patients (11.3%). In 6 patients (3.8%) examined in the late period there were symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency. In order to reduce the percentage of different complications the authors propose to use the puncture and catheterization only on the left side and on strict indications and by an experienced physician.
