Brief summary

It is an observational, prospective, monocentric study. The purpose of the study is to assess the acute complications rate caused by a central venous catheter placement. All the patients who require a central venous placement could be enrolled in the study. The study will not change the usual practice. The placement will be on day 1 and patients will be contacted by phone on day 7 to identify potential complications and to assess pain. Anaesthesia staff will keep patients under surveillance to control the absence of late complications.
