Abstract

The aim of this review is to outline the indications and provide a historical perspective of its development. The current complications are emphasized with the hope that greater caution and vigilance will lead to a reduction in their frequency. Finally, details of several techniques are described for gaining long-term venous access for critically ill or injured patients.
