AbstractCentral venous catheters (CVCs) are prone to accidental removal during patient transportation. Of the casualties who require transfer between medical facilities, those with CVC in situ require additional vigilance to prevent loss of the CVC, which continues to occur despite various methods of fixation. The fashioning of a subcutaneous tunnel has become an integral part of the placement of central venous catheters. Several methods have been described, but the long-term CVCs in paediatric practice pose special problems, particularly that of the patients continually testing the CVCs fixation. Using a new polyurethane CVC, a retrograde tunnelling technique has been developed which affords immediate and secure fixation. We propose that this CVC, together with the technique of retrograde tunnelling, is the solution to inadvertent central venous line removal during patient transfer.

Optimal Visualization

Most contrast-enhanced scanning protocols of the thorax are designed to provide optimal visualization of the lungs, pulmonary arteries, heart, or aorta and its branches. Nevertheless, the systemic venous system is routinely imaged during CT examinations, but is often regarded as of secondary importance to the main indication for the scan. However, there are many clinical situations where the visualization of the systemic veins is of prime interest. These include assessment of SVC obstruction, IVC involvement, potential access routes for central venous line wire placement, and pre-operative assessment.
