  2. Central venous catheter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_venous_catheter

    A peripherally inserted central catheter, or PICC line (pronounced "pick"), is a central venous catheter inserted into a vein in the arm (via the basilic or cephalic veins) rather than a vein in the neck or chest. The basilic vein is usually a better target for cannulation than the cephalic vein because it is larger and runs a straighter course ...

    Catheter for hemodialysis Central venous catheter for temporary access in hemodialysis. A dialysis catheter is a catheter used for exchanging blood to and from a hemodialysis machine and a patient. The dialysis catheter contains two lumens: venous and arterial. Although both lumens are in the vein, the "arterial" lumen, like natural arteries ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_access

    Catheter access, sometimes called a CVC (central venous catheter), consists of a plastic catheter with two lumens (or occasionally two separate catheters) which is inserted into a large vein (usually the vena cava, via the internal jugular vein or the femoral vein) to allow large flows of blood to be withdrawn from one lumen, to enter the dialysis circuit, and to be returned via the other lumen.

  5. Venous access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_access

    Long term central venous catheters for dialysis and apheresis are often locked (injection of a limited volume of liquid to prevent malfunctioning when catheter is not in use) with high concentration heparin (5000 units per ml) to prevent catheter malfunctioning due to clot formation.

  6. Hickman line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hickman_line

    A Hickman line is a central venous catheter most often used for the administration of chemotherapy or other medications, as well as for the withdrawal of blood for analysis. Some types are used mainly for the purpose of apheresis or dialysis. They have also been used in total parenteral nutrition (TPN). [1]

  7. Peripherally inserted central catheter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripherally_inserted...

    A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC or PICC line), also called a percutaneous indwelling central catheter or longline, [1] is a form of intravenous access that can be used for a prolonged period of time (e.g., for long chemotherapy regimens, extended antibiotic therapy, or total parenteral nutrition) or for administration of substances that should not be done peripherally (e.g ...
