Infraclavicular subclavian vein catheterisation is a useful means of measuring central venous pressure and establishing a central infusion line in children undergoing open heart surgery. In 48 children ranging in age from 15 months to 13 years, there was a high success rate and no morbidity.

Catheter Tip

Background During subclavian vein catheterization, the most common misplacement of the catheter is cephalad, into the ipsilateral internal jugular vein (IJV). This can be detected by chest radiography. However, after any repositioning of the catheter, subsequent chest radiography is required. In an effort to simplify the detection of a misplaced subclavian vein catheter, the authors assessed a previously published detection method. Methods One hundred adult patients scheduled for subclavian vein cannulation were included in this study. After placement of subclavian vein catheter, chest radiography was performed. While the x-ray film was being processed, the authors performed an IJV occlusion test by applying external pressure on the IJV for approximately 10 s in the supraclavicular area and observed the change in central venous pressure and its waveform pattern. The observations thus obtained were compared with the position of catheter in chest radiographs, and the sensitivity and specificity of this method were evaluated using a 2 x 2 table. Results In 96 patients, subclavian vein cannulation was successfully performed. In four patients, cannulation was unsuccessful; therefore, these patients were excluded from the study. There were six misplacements of venous catheters as detected by radiography. In five (5.2%) patients, the catheter tip was located in the ipsilateral IJV, and in one (1.02%), the catheter tip was located in the contralateral subclavian vein. In the patients who had a misplaced catheter into the IJV, IJV occlusion test results were positive, with an increase of 3-5 mmHg in central venous pressure, whereas the test results were negative in patients who had normally placed catheters or misplacement of a catheter other than in the IJV. There were no false-positive or false-negative test results. Conclusion The IJV occlusion test successfully detects the misplacement of subclavian vein catheter into the IJV. However, it does not detect any other misplacement. The test may allow avoidance of repeated exposure to x-rays after catheter insertion and repositioning.

Imaging Signs

Analysis of chest roentgenograms performed before spontaneous fragmentation and distal embolization of an implanted subclavian vein catheter revealed discontinuity of the catheter's radiopaque marker in addition to kinking of the area proximal to the breakage point. To the authors' knowledge the case presented in this article is the first report of this imaging sign before catheter fragmentation. Lateral catheter placement and early recognition of subtle imaging signs may assist in decreasing the incidence of this significant complication.
