Abstract
Objective 
 In our study, we evaluated central venous catheter procedures performed by Adnan Menderes University, Department of Emergency Medicine in the emergency room and emergency intensive care units. We planned to investigate performing central venous catheter application with ultrasound guidance and the rate of bleeding complications in patients using anticoagulants or antiplatelet.
 Material and Method
 Between 15.11.2018-15.10.2019, central venous catheter application was performed 178 cases over the age of 18 and non-pregnant were included. Research data were evaluated by using SPSS 21.0 statistics program.
 Results
 A Central venous catheter procedure was performed in 78.7% of the patients with ultrasound guidance. 36.5% of the patients had a history of anticoagulant or antiplatelet drug use. The most common complications in our patients were ventricular dysrhythmia and subcutaneous hematoma. 
 Conclusion
 In conclusion, when looking at the relationship between gender, anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet drug use, preferred vein and ultrasound use during the procedure, and complication status, no statistically significant results were found.
