Abstract
The use of central venous catheters for temporary vascular access is a vital part of modern medicine and has an important role in the management of patients with renal failure. Attention to detail when addressing issues relating to temporary venous access, will pay dividends, with significant reductions in morbidity and mortality in both the short and long term.
