[Risk during central vein catheterization and ways of its reduction].
Factors that contribute to a higher risk in catheterization of great vessels are briefly analyzed and promising research trends targeted at preventing the complications in the discussed procedures are shortly surveyed. Both domestic and foreign instruments are critically evaluated. An invention (patent of the Russian Federation No. 2087162 dated August 20, 1997) "device for catheterization and its variations", made by the author, is suggested for introduction. The device is simple, safe, atraumatic, fast and multifunctional. A drawing, logically-substantiated descriptions and the succession of operator's manipulations are available in the paper.
