Clinical Trial
High incidence of intravenous thrombi after short-term central venous catheterization of the internal jugular vein.
To assess incidence and characteristics of intravenous (i.v.) thrombi associated with short-term central venous catheterization through the internal jugular vein. ⋯ The incidence of i.v. thrombi associated with short-term catheterization of the internal jugular vein was high despite prophylactic anticoagulation. This finding reaffirms the importance of removing central venous catheters as soon as clinically possible. Additional studies using specific outcome tests are needed to thoroughly assess the clinical importance of this finding.
