A Broviac catheter was placed in a toddler's left subclavian vein to provide durable central intravenous access for prolonged IV antibiotic therapy to treat lumbar osteomyelitis. The catheter placement procedure went smoothly under general anesthesia. The catheter was tunneled under the skin and exited on the right chest wall below the breast. Placement was confirmed fluoroscopically and the catheter was secured. The patient was transported to recovery in good condition without complications.

Sample Type / Medical Specialty: Cardiovascular / Pulmonary
Sample Name: Broviac Catheter Placement
Description: Lumbar osteomyelitis and need for durable central intravenous acces s. Placement of left subclavian 4-French Broviac catheter. (Medical Transcription Sample Report) PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES: 1. Lumbar osteomyelitis. 2. Need for durable central intravenous access. POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES: 1. Lumbar osteomyelitis. 2. Need for durable central intravenous access. ANESTHESIA: General. PROCEDURE: Placement of left subclavian 4-French Broviac catheter. INDICATIONS: The patient is a toddler admitted with a limp and back pain, who wa s eventually found on bone scan and septic workup to have probable osteomyelitis of the lumbar spine at disk areas. The patient needs prolonged IV antibiotic th erapy, but attempt at a PICC line failed. She has exhausted most of her easy per ipheral IV access routes and referral was made to the Pediatric Surgery Service for Broviac placement. I met with the patient's mom. With the help of a Spanish interpreter, I explained the technique for Broviac placement. We discussed the s urgical risks and alternatives, most of which have been exhausted. All their que stions have been answered, and the patient is fit for operation today. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION: The patient came to the operating room and had an unev entful induction of general anesthesia. We conducted a surgical time-out to reit erate all of the patient's important identifying information and to confirm that we were here to place the Broviac catheter. Preparation and draping of her skin was performed with chlorhexidine based prep solution and then an infraclavicula r approach to left subclavian vein was performed. A flexible guidewire was inser ted into the central location and then a 4-French Broviac catheter was tunneled through the subcutaneous tissues and exiting on the right anterolateral chest wa ll well below and lateral to the breast and pectoralis major margins. The cathet er was brought to the subclavian insertion site and trimmed so that the tip woul d lie at the junction of the superior vena cava and right atrium based on fluoro scopic guidelines. The peel-away sheath was passed over the guidewire and then t he 4-French catheter was deployed through the peel-away sheath. There was easy b lood return and fluoroscopic imaging showed initially the catheter had transited across the mediastinum up the opposite subclavian vein, then it was withdrawn a nd easily replaced in the superior vena cava. The catheter insertion site was cl osed with one buried 5-0 Monocryl stitch and the same 5-0 Monocryl was used to t ether the catheter at the exit site until fibrous ingrowth of the attached cuff has occurred. Heparinized saline solution was used to flush the line. A sterile occlusive dressing was applied, and the line was prepared for immediate use. The patient was transported to the recovery room in good condition. There were no i ntraoperative complications, and her blood loss was between 5 and 10 mL during t he line placement portion of the procedure.
