Abstract
Central venous catheterization at the clinical site has been widely used for various purposes for many years. In most cases, the procedure has been safely performed, but fatal cases due to complications have also been reported. Although there has been much discussion regarding puncture techniques such as the conventional landmark method and echoguided method, which has attracted attention in recent years, there has been little discussion of safety management and education in central venous puncture techniques.
Based on our experience establishing a working group on central venous catheterization at this hospital, environment, education, and safety management in central venous catheterization were considered.
