Efficacy of Ultrasound‐Guided Double Lumen Central Venous Catheter Insertion in Minimizing Mechanical Complications and Bloodstream Infections: An Empirical Evidence of Pakistan

    The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes of ultrasound‐guided double‐lumen central venous catheter (DLC) insertion and without ultrasound guidance in reducing mechanical complications and bloodstream infections. This quasi‐experimental study was conducted at Urology Department in collaboration with the Anesthesia department at GMC Teaching Hospital Gujranwala. The study had 60 insertions in each group. The insertion duration ranged from 8‐50 days in Group A and 9‐60 days in the B group. Placements were done at the right internal jugular and right subclavian veins. Four patients in Group A and five patients in Group B experienced catheter‐related bloodstream infections (CRBSI), but the difference was not significant. The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was 0‐10 in Group A and 0‐8 in Group B. Group A had no mechanical complications, while three patients in Group B experienced manageable complications. In conclusion, ultrasound‐guided DLC placement improves safety but does not reduce CRBSI.
