Demonstrate ideal dressing for central lines
3. Out line Introduction
Objectives
Types of central lines
Central line complications
Central line flow control
Flushes for central lines
Dressing changes for central lines
Blood withdrawal from central lines
Changing access/injection caps

7. Central Line Flow Control Volume in ML x Drop factor DEVIDED BY # of hours to be infused x 60
Drop factors are 15 drops / cc OR 60 drops / cc
8. WHY INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY ?? Patient convenience
Fewer complications
Expediency
Accuracy
Lower cost
9. ADVANTAGES OF CENTRAL VENOUS ACCESS 1. Immediate access
2. High flow and dilution of hyper tonic solutions
3. Easy access
4. Permits outpatient care
10. DISADVANTAGES OF CENTRAL VENOUS ACCESS More invasive - potentially more complications and pain
11. 1. Long term IV therapy:
Chemo
Antibiotics
TPN
Blood products
2. Recurrent blood draws
3. Dialysis/Pharesis
12. CONTRAINDICATIONS 1. Sepsis
2. Coagulopathy
13. TYPES OF CENTRAL VENOUS ACCESS 1. Non tunneled external catheters
a. Central line
b. PICC line
2. Tunneled catheters
3. Subcutaneous Ports
a. chest
b. arm
14. CHOOSING THE ACCESS DEVICE Patients disease and status
Number and type of solutions, osmolality
Flow required
Frequency accessed
Duration of use- days vs months
Preferences - Dr. / Patient What is the disease entity? What needs to be administered?
Mention silastic vs polyethylene
Silastic poor friction coefficient, larger cath for same ID, better biocompatiblity
little fibrotic reaction
Polyurethane stiffer goes over wire betterWhat is the disease entity? What needs to be administered?

little fibrotic reaction

15. NUMBER AND COMPATIBILITY OF INFUSATES Determine true number of lumens that are required based on the number of infusates when they are given and if they are compatible
16. FLOW Internal Diameter (ID)
vs
Outer Diameter (OD)
The outer diameter is not always directly proportional to flow. Some catheters are just thick walled and although large yield slow flow. For high flow - check the ID. Remember, larger catheters cause more irritation potentiating stenosis and thrombosis.
Ports have low flow - dont choose a port for high flow state
Want flow at 350 - 400
Ports have low flow - dont choose a port for high flow state
Want flow at 350 - 400
17. DURATION > 7 days - PICC Line
1- 12 Weeks - PICC line / tunneled catheter
12 weeks - 6 months or greater - tunneled
catheter
> 6 months - Port
18. FREQUENCY OF ACCESS Frequent access and infusion - tunneled catheter
Infrequent access (every week or month)-port
19. MATERIAL Silastic
thicker, softer, larger for same flow, more friction over a wire
Polyurethane
stiffer, thinner wall, smaller for same flow, less friction
20. PREFERENCES Patient:
Some patients may prefer a port for aesthetics, no restrictions on activities
Operator:
If the operator cant place a port
choose an alternative!!!!!!!
21. NON-TUNNELED EXTERNAL CATHETERS 1. Polyurethane

+/- exudate
2. Bacteremia - fever, leukocytosis and
positive blood cultures
3. Septic thrombophlebitis - bacteremia,
thrombosis and purulent discharge
56. INFECTION CAUSATIVE ORGANISMS Staph epidermidis 25-50%
Staph aureus 25%
Candida 5-10%

prevents malposition
RIJ straight shot less malfunction or pinch, less arterial puncture, ptx
Air embolus less with tilting table

58. INFECTION 1. Septic thrombophlebitis - remove catheter
2. Cutaneous - local treatment
3. Bacteremia -
1. IV antibiotics 48 -72 hours
if improved - keep catheter
if no change, worse or recurs
remove catheter
or
2. Exchange catheter over wire,
85% cure with treatment
59. Continue to treat infection for 10 - 14 days
If ineffective - try locking with thrombolytics between antibiotic doses and administer antibiotics through catheters INFECTION
60. INFECTION:CATHETER REPLACEMENT 1. Afebrile
2. Negative blood culture Sitzman only 27% of catheters removed needed removal
Weightman = quantitative blood cultures with no other source
Increase needle punctures increase infection
Weightman - quantitative blood cultures from line and periphery , line should be 10X the periphery
Administer antibiotics thriough the lumens of the catheter and alternate lumens.
Pseudomonas and Baccillus infections are difficult to irradicated without removeing the catheter so in these remve it.
