Abstract

A central venous catheter (CVC) is a device that is inserted into the superior vena cava. Central venous catheterisation was first performed in 1929 and is now common practice in a variety of health care settings (1). Although CVCs may be inserted by any doctor who has been trained and competencyassessed, the majority are inserted by anaesthetists and intensivists to be used in the high dependency setting. Knowledge of the indications and care of CVC lines is, however, essential knowledge for any foundation doctor.
