Highlights
Central venous catheters (CVC) are widely used in management of patients in critical care and anaesthesia
catheter related thrombosis (CRT) formation was observed in all the groups with statistically significant proportion in diabetics compared to ASA 1 patients
We rounded up to 35 subjects in each group with Group D consisting of type II diabetics, Group H consisting of hypertensives and Group C the control group consisting of ASA 1 patients
Summary
Central venous catheters (CVC) are widely used in management of patients in critical care and anaesthesia. Catheter related thrombosis (CRT) is one amongst the complications, and if undiagnosed may lead to serious sequelae. The aetiology of CRT is multifactorial.[1] Its incidence in internal jugular vein (IJV) is 4056%.2. Thromboembolism is one of the major complications associated with central venous catheters (CVC) which is sub-clinical most of the time, undiagnosed leading to various life-threatening complications. Studies on catheter related thrombosis (CRT) are conducted on patients with malignant conditions and seldom been done on diabetics and hypertensives who are more commonly encountered in day to day practice. The aim of our study was to determine the rate of occurrence of CRT formation in diabetics and hypertensives
