Abstract
Despite diligent efforts, complications continue to occur during the placement of central venous catheters (CVCs). Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis has been promoted as a process improvement tool and this review describes the strategic application of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to CVC placement. The objective is to demonstrate the utility of FMEA first as a tool for identifying quality or safety issues and second for guiding mitigation efforts.
