ABSTRACT:Central venous catheterization is a commonly performed procedure in the intensive care unit. Guide wires are routinely used in the Seldinger technique during central venous catheter placement. We present a case in which a guide wire was retained during placement of double lumen dialysis catheter and how we expeditiously managed the scenario.
