==Background==
[[Central venous catheter]] complications vary by site. Subclavian lines are more commonly associated with pneumothorax and have a higher risk of bleeding because the site is noncompressible, whereas femoral and internal jugular lines have a higher risk of infection.<ref>Parienti JJ, Mongardon N, Mégarbane B, et al. Intravascular Complications of Central Venous Catheterization by Insertion Site. N Engl J Med. 2015;373(13):1220–1229. doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1500964</ref>
