Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly used in patients with trauma. The placement and removal of the CVCs can result in various complications regardless of the skill of the professionals. Herein, two cases of rare complications are presented— an inadvertent subclavian artery catheterization and a cerebral air embolism after a CVC removal. Moreover, practical solutions for each complication are provided in detail.

Central venous catheterization (CVC) is a routine technique done in critical care and emergency departments for monitoring patients and giving certain parenteral medications in special conditions. Most common complications associated with CVCs are infection, hematoma, hemothorax, pneumothorax and superior or inferior vena cava trauma while rare complications include cardiac arrhythmias, air embolism and loss of the guide wire [1].
