title: [Abnormal positioning of central venous catheters (author's transl)].
abstract: The increasing use of central venous catheters requires accurate knowledge of the dangers and risks associated therewith. In general, it is possible to recognize wrong positioning of the catheters when studying the full-size roentgenographs of the thorax. In some cases, however, it may become necessary to effect additional roentgenographs for better clarification and control after correcting the position.
