Abstract: This article reports the experience of 216 cases applying CVC and getting a rapid path for fluid infusion in rescuing life-threatening patients since 1992. Vascular Access: Of 216 cases, 97 patients were put CVC by the right side of internal jugular venous up to superior yens eava, 110by the right side of subclavian vein up to superior vena cava, 6 by the left side of subclavian vein, 3 by fermoral vein up to inferior vena cava. Complications: Of 216 cases, 3 with a little pneumatothorax (1.4%), 2 with misarteriopuncture (0.9%), of 42 observational cases, 2 catheter end dystopia (4.7). Of 3 same kind of cases, 1 with left thigh subcutaneous heraatoma (33). Operating time was between 3~15 minutes and most of them were about 7 min. Most of the life-threatening patients were eompanied with shock, so, the most important thing to do for antishock is to get a rapid path of fluid infusion. The application of central venous catheter can solve many clinical problems, and the methord is simple rapid and the catheter can be put right into thicker vein which can be repeated used (injected). If the operator is skilled for the methord, it's safe and reliable. At the same time, it can provide a path for vein nutrition in the future treatment. Complications prevention: At first, the doctors must know the indications for central venous catheter strictly. secandly, try to get the patients cooperation before the central venous catheter. Especially, for the patients in waking state, the most important is that the operator must grasp the techniques and execute the operating rules and know the structure of local histological dissection well. Therefore, the complilcations can be reduced with the central venous catheter and many patients can survive.
