It is a specialized type type of dialysis catheter that is implanted into the patient's upper right arm, in place of an A/V fistula.
NO!! A pulmonary artery catheter is a diagnostic tool that is inserted into the right side of the heart. TPN is typically infused through a central venous catheter or a central line due to the thrombosis this concentrated fluid typically causes.
In aged care, IDC typically stands for "indwelling catheter," which refers to a catheter that is placed inside the body to drain urine from the bladder. This type of catheter is commonly used in older adults who have difficulty urinating on their own.

Absolutely! Uncomfortable is just a lie. Insertion of a catheter is likely one of the most feared experiences as a young male, right up there with having a prostate exam. As previously mentioned, yes, it is uncomfortable but discomfort is different from pain. The insertion, and subsequent removal, of the catheter is really quite painless. Some pain does exist, and I'll get into this later, but all reasons for having a catheter inserted are far greater than the comparatively minor "pain" that it can cause.

The distal end of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) terminates in the superior vena cava, which is a large vein located near the heart. This position allows for efficient delivery of medications or fluids directly into the bloodstream.
A catheter may be inserted in the right femoral vein for various medical procedures, such as venous access for fluid administration, medication delivery, or diagnostic studies like venography. The femoral vein provides a large and accessible route for catheterization, especially in emergency situations. Additionally, it can be used for interventions such as angioplasty or stent placement in the lower extremities. In some cases, the right femoral approach is preferred for certain cardiac procedures due to anatomical considerations.
To place an intravenous cannula (IVC) the preferred veins are in the patient's arm. As a general rule, the patient's non-dominant extremity should be used. That is, if a patient is right handed, the left arm should be used for IV access. In general, any distended vein may be used as long as all clinical and medical procedures and precautions are followed during the procedure.
