The subclavian vein was catheterized in 100 right-sided and 100 left-sided attempts. Catheterisation failed in 24 cases. The success rate on the right side was 84.7 per cent and on the left side 94.3 per cent. The rate of malpositioning in right-sided attempts (23%) was significantly higher than in left-sided attempts (4%) [p less than 0.001]. Minor and major mechanical complications, other than malpositioning, were also more frequent in right attempts (14.4%) than in left-sided attempts (5.6%) [p less than 0.05]. Malpositioning of central venous catheters may lead to serious complications including intravascular knotting, rupture of the heart and great vessels, incorrect central venous pressure readings and thrombosis due to delivery of hyperosmolar solutions. Based on our results a left-sided approach should be preferred in infraclavicular subclavian vein catheterization unless specific contra-indications exist.</p>","PeriodicalId":77640,"journal":{"name":"The Netherlands journal of surgery","volume":"43 5","pages":"178-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12950156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The case histories of three patients with Fournier's gangrene are presented to illustrate the importance of early recognition and radical surgical débridement as essential objectives for therapeutic success. In the first patient, who died of Fournier's gangrene after a vasectomy, appropriate therapy was significantly delayed due to late recognition of the condition. The second patient presented with a rapidly progressive fasciitis secondary to a perianal abscess; immediate excision of all necrotic tissue was successfully performed.
