To audit the central venous catheterization of patients in the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hosp ital, Maiduguri, Borno state, Nigeria. This was a cross sectional prospective study of all patients scheduled for c entral venous catheterization (CVC) in our centre form January, 2009 - December, 2012. Following counsellin g and consent obtained on either Subclavian vein (SCV) approach or the Internal Jugular vein (IJV) approach was documented. A total of 780 patients were reviewed during the period under review. Two hundred and forty nine (n= 249, 31.9%) patients were males and five hundred and thirty one (n= 531, 68.1%) patients were femal es. The age ranges between 12- 80 years with the mean age of 41.87 (SD= 15.91). Majority of the patients had c hronic kidney diseases (81.3%) and were scheduled for Haemodialysis. Most of the patients (n=612, 78.5%) we re free from complication due to our procedure. Arterial puncture (n=85, 10.9%) was the commonest complicati on observed in our study. CVC is safe, effective, life saving and an excellent means of administering of fluids an d more importantly in the patients scheduled for Haemodialysis (HD) who requires good venous access. We ther efore, recommend and encourage other centres to commence the insertion of the CVC in their centres because o f its importance in the patient care.
