A surgical hazard of central venous pressure monitoring. A case report.

SUMMARY A complication of monitoring the central venous pressure (c.v.p.) via the median basilic vein is described. A 54-year-old man undergoing laryngectomy and right "en bloc" neck dissection was catheterized via the right median basilic vein, and the catheter passed into the right internal jugular vein. This was unrecognized until the vein had been divided. Recovery of the clamped catheter was hazardous and ran the risk of air embolism.
