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.

How do you locate subclavian?
The subclavian vein can be located by palpating the clavicle and the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The vein is typically located just above and slightly lateral to the midpoint of the clavicle. It can also be located by using ultrasound guidance.

How long does carotid subclavian bypass take?
A carotid-subclavian bypass surgery typically takes about 2 to 4 hours to complete, depending on the patient's specific anatomy and any potential complications. The procedure involves creating a bypass around a blocked or narrowed section of the subclavian artery by connecting the carotid artery to the subclavian artery using a graft. Recovery time varies, with patients usually spending a few days in the hospital for monitoring.
How do you deflate the balloon from a catheter before removing?

How do you deflate foley catheter balloon using scissors?
To deflate a Foley catheter balloon using scissors, first ensure that you are following proper sterile procedures and have appropriate consent. Carefully locate the catheter's balloon inflation port and use scissors to cut the inflation valve or tubing, allowing the fluid to escape. Be cautious to avoid damaging the catheter itself. After deflation, gently withdraw the catheter while monitoring the patient for any discomfort or complications.

When disconnecting the tubing from the catheter wrap the tip in a sterile gauze?
When disconnecting tubing from a catheter, it is important to wrap the tip in a sterile gauze to minimize the risk of contamination. This practice helps protect the catheter's opening from exposure to pathogens, reducing the chance of infection. Additionally, using sterile gauze ensures that any residual fluids are absorbed, maintaining a clean environment during the procedure. Proper aseptic technique is crucial in catheter care to promote patient safety and health.
Can after using catheter for dialysis one can use AV fistula?
Yes, after using a catheter for dialysis, a patient can typically transition to using an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, provided the fistula is adequately mature and functional. However, it is essential to ensure that the catheter is removed safely and that the fistula is properly monitored to avoid complications. The timing for switching will depend on individual patient circumstances and the recommendations of their healthcare provider.
Can a person get addicted to wearing a urinary catheter?
I have a urinary catheter fetish. I wear a foley catheter and drainage bag as often as socially possible. I love the feeling of having my urethra constantly stimulated, and when walking briskly I can feel the end of the catheter stimulating the inside of my bladder. I have so many involuntary orgasms a day, I can't even begin to count them. When I am not wearing a catheter, I physically and emotionally crave the feeling of having one inside of me. I feel that I have become addicted to the stimulation of wearing a urinary catheter.
