Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly utilised to gain vascular access for varied clinical indications. These include administering drugs, renal replacement therapy, total parenteral nutrition, poor peripheral venous access, cardiac catheterisation, and transvenous cardiac pacing. CVC is routinely used in haemodialysis patients and is often inserted via the jugular vein.
