Some medications are very hard on peripheral veins, like some chemotherapies or antibiotics and a central line is useful for administering them. Also, giving large volumes of fluid, obtaining frequent blood samples, and giving multiple medications are other reasons we use central lines. Central lines can also be used to measure vascular pressures.
