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.

Complications during insertion of a subclavian central venous line are rare but potentially serious. This case report describes the radiological abnormality of a one-sided pleural effusion during a routine control directly after a difficult central venous catheterization. We illustrate the findings, the initial emergency management, and our procedure to rule out an iatrogenic hemothorax. Possible differential diagnoses and strategies for management of a suspected complication are discussed.

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].
