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.
