Veins are used not only in anaesthesia and reanimation, but also in the whole set of medical and surgical specializations, for blood-sampling, injecting, measuring and exploring. This study analyses the local, regional, and general complications arising from the puncture of the superficial and deep veins, their capacity for catheter insertion, and the medication or solutions injected.
