A Central Venous Catheter (CVC) is a type of catheter that is inserted into a large vein, typically in the neck, chest, or groin, and is threaded through to reach a larger vein near the heart. It is often used for various medical purposes, including: Intravenous (IV) Access: CVCs provide a reliable and efficient way to administer medications, fluids, blood products, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Monitoring: They allow healthcare providers to monitor central venous pressure (CVP), which reflects the blood pressure in the vena cava near the right atrium of the heart. Long-term Intravenous Therapy: CVCs are suitable for patients who require long-term intravenous therapy, such as chemotherapy or prolonged antibiotic treatment. Hemodialysis: In some cases, CVCs are used for hemodialysis in patients with kidney failure. Common types of CVCs include subclavian catheters, jugular catheters, and femoral catheters. However, the choice of insertion site depends on factors such as the patient's condition, the intended use of the catheter, and the healthcare provider's preference. It's important to note that the insertion and maintenance of CVCs carry risks, and proper care and monitoring are essential to prevent complications such as infections and thrombosis. Healthcare professionals follow strict protocols to minimize these risks and ensure the safe use of central venous catheters. |
