 | | Your central line can also be used to draw blood for testing, again eliminating the need for painful needle pokes. | | | Your lines need be flushed daily to prevent clotting and the caps on the ends of the line need to be changed regularly. | | | Your medications and other supplements can be infused directly into your system. |

| | Central Venous Catheters or Lines |
| | A long term catheter or central line is usually placed into a vein just under the clavicle and to reduce infection the line is "tunnelled" under the skin to come out further down on the chest. | | | After it has been inserted a chest x-ray is required to ensure it is in the correct place. | | | Fluids are given via a small needle inserted through the skin into the reservoir. |

| | Management of a central line : Cancerbackup |
| | The central line is inserted (tunnelled) under the skin of your chest into a vein. | | | Your chest will be cleaned with antiseptic, and the line will be gently but firmly pulled until it loosens and comes free. | | | This may be very helpful if doctors and nurses find it difficult to get needles into your veins, or if the walls of your veins have been hardened by previous chemotherapy treatment. |

| | The other end is then tunnelled under the skin to emerge on the front of the chest as an external line. | | | Even though doctors and nurses are very experienced at taking blood and inserting needles it can sometimes hurt and is not a pleasant experience for the child. | | | As nothing comes out through the skin ports can be easier to look after but they still need to be accessed with a needle. |

| | Because a central venous catheter may be more difficult to place, problems can sometimes arise. | | | Your child will be sedated for the central line insertion. | | | Cleaning the line with Betadine and alcohol should be done before each use. |

| | Central Line |
| | Most patients learn to care for their own central lines and it is important that you and the nursing staff looking after you are familiar with your particular line. | | | If there is any suspicion that your line is blocked you should seek medical help immediately, as it is always easier to unblock them early on. | | | This saves the veins in your arm from the damage that is almost inevitable if lots and lots of needles are placed there. |

| | Every chest or neck line that’s inserted in a non-coding patient must have its position verified by chest xray before it can be used. | | | The basic idea here involves a couple of steps, but the same technique is used for putting in all kinds of vascular catheters: First: a small-gauge needle and syringe are used to find the vessel that you want to use. | | | Here’s another point worth mentioning about central pressures in general, meaning CVP and wedge pressures: pretty much anything that raises the patient’s blood pressure is going to raise the central pressures too. |
