For a TKO (to keep open) in cardiac patients, a small-bore catheter, such as a 20-22 gauge peripheral intravenous (IV) catheter, is often preferred. This size allows for adequate flow rates while minimizing trauma to the veins. Additionally, a central venous catheter may be considered for patients requiring long-term access or if peripheral access is challenging. Always assess individual patient needs and consult protocols accordingly.
A catheter is a term used for any thin tube inserted into the body - not just a urinary catheter. So, you would use a catheter as intended.You would insert a urinary catheter and secure it by inflating the balloon.You would insert a central line catheter and x-ray it before use, then use it to administer medications.Etc...
In this case it is not possible to re-use the catheter. Because of the requirement of sterility a new catheter has to be used as replacement.

it depends on the type of catheter. an iv catheter needs five to ten ml.
catheterization is an insertion of temporal or permanente steril catheter via transurethral or sovrapubic for diagnostic, therapeutic or evacuative purpose. Catheters are made up of different materials that makes them rigid, semi rigid or flexible with different dimensions.
You can use a cardiac defibrillator to delivery electrical energy to a patients heart by the use of electrodes. This is commonly used on patients with cardiac dysrhythmias or ventricular fibrillation.
To measure a rigid catheter, you typically use a ruler or measuring tape to determine its length from one end to the other in either centimeters or inches. Ensure the catheter is fully extended and measure along the outside of the catheter to get an accurate length reading.
The proximal port of a Swan-Ganz catheter is used for measuring right atrial pressure, while the distal port is used for measuring pulmonary artery pressure and obtaining mixed venous blood samples. This allows for monitoring hemodynamic parameters and assessing oxygenation status in critically ill patients.

All sports that require the competitor to be alive use the cardiac AKA the heart muscle.
