![]() Once the central line is in place, remove the wire.Do not advance the line until you have hold of the end of the wire Remove the dilator and pass the central line over the Seldinger wire.At this stage there may be some bleeding so ensure to have some swabs ready.Pass the dilator over the wire and gently but firmly dilate a tract through to the internal jugular.This should be done cutting away from the wire so as not to damage it Use scalpel to make an small incision in the skin (approx 3mm).Ensure the wire stays in the vein as you do this Keeping hold of the inserted wire, remove the needle.When blood is freely aspirated remove syringe and immediately inset Seldinger wire.Under ultrasound guidance take Seldinger needle attached to syringe and insert into the internal jugular vein.Ensure caps are available for the lumens.Whilst lignocaine has time to work flush all lumens of the line and then clamp all lumens except the Seldinger port.Under ultrasound guidance insert lignocaine cutaneously, subcutaneously and around internal jugular. ![]() Apply sterile sheath to the ultrasound probe.Make sure to have some spare gauze swabs ready. Clean the area and apply sterile field.Wash hands and don sterile gown and gloves.Procedure for central line (central venous catheter) insertion Position patient with head down if they can tolerate it, with head facing away from side of insertion.Infection, bleeding (arterial puncture, haematoma, haemothorax), pain, failure, damage to surrounding structres (including pneumothorax), thrombosis.Consent patient if conscious otherwise document why the procedure is in the patients best interests.Avoid in raised intracranial pressure- aim for a femoral approach if required.Lignocaine (4ml (2 vials) of 2% is reasonable)Ĭontraindications to central line (central venous catheter) insertion.Ultrasound and sterile ultrasound sheath.Intravenous access (long term or difficult peripherally)Ĭomplications of central line (central venous catheter) insertionĮquipment required for central line (central venous catheter) insertion.amiodarone, inotropes, high concentration electrolytes Administration of medications that require central access e.g.The internal jugular is usually preferred to subclavian approach where possible as it is less likely to lead to pneumothorax Indications for central line (central venous catheter) insertion I bust out laughing and told her he wanted a cordis.the introducer.NOT COITIS.Central line (central venous catheter) insertion Central line insertion should be real-time ultrasound guided. She was indignant and said to me "You have to go in there right now and set him straight.He keeps asking me for COITIS!!! :eek:over and over again, COITIS!! :eek:WHat the *&^% is wrong with HIM!! Does he really thing he's getting sex.I'll sue him for sexual harassment" I heard him asking for "The Cordis, The Cordis! I want the Cordis!":D and I heard the nurse turn and say."What did you say to me? I beg your pardon!!!" and she stormed out of the room came up to me and it dawned on me what she thought.

Know the idiosyncrasies of the facility and the difference's of your MD's. So you are right they are different.but are unfortunately used interchangeably. I believe it was "Bard" that coined the phrase "triple lumen". It is also called a multi-lumen catheter. This can be used by itself as a single lumen catheter or used as an entry point to thread additional infusion or monitoring devices into the catheter itself for infusion or monitoring purposes ie: Swan Ganz, also known as a PA catheter triple lumen, also known as a multi lumen catheter which can also be a CVP line dialysis catheters ect.or.an arterial line which an IABP (intra aortic balloon pump counter pulsation cardiac assist device) can be inserted.Ī triple lumen is a 3 lumen catheter with a proximal port (closest to the skin), medial port (between skin and SVC), and distal port or CVP port in the SVC (superior vena cava) or RA (right atrium) of the heart. just bigger) the vessel whether artery or vein. Cordis is used interchangeably with an "introducer" or "sheath"."sheath introducer" a large single lumen catheter used to cannulate (like an IV catheter in the vein in the. Kind of like "give me a Kleenex please" Kleenex is the brand name tissue is the thing it is. Would like some feedback from my nursing sisters and brothers please I thought there was a difference but maybe I'm wrong. Is there a difference between a cordis and triple lumen catheter or is the terminology used interchangeably?
