- Abstract
Peripherally inserted central catheters are usually inserted in supine patients. What should we do when facing a patient who cannot tolerate this position? In this article, we are describing a particularly difficult patient: not only supine decubitus was intolerable to her but lying on the side was unbearable, too. That is why, to manage a patient who required a central access but could not tolerate the usual position for placing it, we tried to do that in prone position.
