Enabling Objectives
Explain the insertion sites for the various catheter
types.
Describe the general principles, indications,
precautions, equipment, technique and
complications of vascular access via existing
central catheters

Implanted VADs - Ports
Catheter attached to a
self-sealing silicone
septum surrounded by a
titanium, stainless steal
or plastic port
Port sutured under the
skin
Some brand names:
– Port-a-cath®
– Infus-a-port®
– Power Port ®
26
Implanted VADs - Ports
Catheter runs from
port to superior vena
cava at the right
atrium
No part of the device
is exposed outside
the body
Can deliver
chemotherapy, TPN,
antibiotics, blood
products and blood
sampling

Factors that Contribute to Infection
44
Aseptic Technique
Skin
– Washing with soap (antimicrobial) before and
after patient contact
– NOTE: It is important to note that even under
emergency conditions, all steps necessary to
maintain asepsis should be taken.
– Donning gloves
Mouth and nose
– A mask should be worn
45 – People with respiratory tract infections should

Prepare your equipment
10 ml syringe
(empty)
10 ml syringe
(normal saline)
Sterile gloves (if
available
Alcohol preps
250 – 1000 ml
normal saline and
administration set
67
Syringe WARNING
68
More than one lumen
70
Clamping end of the cap
71 End cap
Prep end of lumen with alcohol swab
72
Flushing
Using aseptic technique attach 10 ml syringe of
normal saline
Unclamp lumen
Flush port with 3 - 5 ml of sterile normal saline to
determine patency.
If catheter does not flush easily (note PICC line will
generally flush more slowly and with greater
resistance than a typical IV catheter) re-clamp the
selected lumen and try another lumen (if present)
Re-clamp and discard syringe
