Catheter Displacement into Inferior Epigastric Vein Causing Local Phlebitis and Cellulitis

Catheter Displacement into Inferior Epigastric Vein Causing Local Phlebitis and Cellulitis

Catheter insertion for intravenous hyperalimentation is a commonly and widely used clinical technique. When compared with the incidence of complications associated with insertions into the internal jugular vein or the subclavian vein, complications associated with insertions into the femoral vein ar...
