2024年11月8日 · Central venous catheter (CVC) is a cannula placed in a central vein (e.g. subclavian, internal jugular or femoral) USES/INDICATIONS Intravenous (IV) access (especially if difficult peripheral access)

A central venous catheter (CVC), also known as a central line (c-line), central venous line, or central venous access catheter, is a catheter placed into a large vein. It is a form of venous access.

2025年2月4日 · A central venous catheter (CVC) is an indwelling device inserted into a large, central vein (most commonly the internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral) and advanced until the terminal lumen resides within the inferior vena cava, superior vena cava, or right atrium.

Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion is required in many critically ill patients. Selection of the insertion site should be based both on the ease of placement and on the risks associated with the procedure. The latter include infection, thrombosis and mechanical complications.

CVC insertion site, surrounding tissue, dressing integrity, and catheter securement is assessed throughout the shift with routine patient assessment, and when catheter is used for medication or solution

2023年7月4日 · Tunneled CVCs provide long-term intravenous access for parenteral nutrition, fluid resuscitation, antibiotics, chemotherapy, and hemodialysis. The placement of tunneled catheters allows patients to continue intravenous therapy upon their discharge from the hospital.

Central venous catheters (CVCs) are used to provide adequate hemodialysis (HD) in patients who are initiating dialysis or are awaiting maturation of more permanent vascular access such as an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or (less desirable) arteriovenous graft (AVG).

Patients receiving treatment for various illnesses may have a central venous catheter (CVC) inserted. A catheter is a soft hollow tube. The central venous catheter is placed into a large vein leading into the heart and comes out through a small opening in the chest area. This opening is called the exit site.

tunneled Central Venous Catheter (CVC) is a special type of intravenous (IV) line that is placed into a large vein in your chest. A long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter is tunneled under your skin and then placed into the vein. You may hear this type of line called a Central line, PowerLine, Hickman, or an Apheresis Catheter.

Background: Internal jugular vein catheterization (IJVC) and subclavian vein catheterization (SCVC) have been the most preferred central venous catheterizations (CVC) clinically. Individual preference and institutional routine dominate the traditional CVC choice; however, it is lack of high-level evidence.
