AB The  subclavian  approach  is  preferred  for  placement  of  central  venous  catheters  (CVCs).Real-time  ultrasound  may  reduce  the  mechanical  complications  associated  with  CVC  insertion.Chlorhexidine-based  skin  antiseptic  solutions  reduce  the  incidence  of  catheter-related  bloodstream  infections  as  compared  with  povidone-iodine.Almost  50%  of  hospital-acquired  bloodstream  infections  are  caused  by  staphylococcal  species.CVCs  should  not  be  replaced  nor  exchanged  over  a  guidewire  on  a  routine  basis.
