    A novel technique allows single-operator insertion and removal of Hickman catheters, reducing costs and risks. This method is often preferable to standard temporary central venous catheters for patient care.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Vascular Access

    Background:

    • Central venous catheters are essential for various medical treatments.
    • Standard insertion methods can be complex and require multiple operators.
    • Minimizing risk and cost in catheterization procedures is a clinical priority.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a simplified technique for Hickman catheter insertion.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of single-operator use for Hickman catheters.
    • To compare the proposed method with standard temporary central venous catheters.

    Main Methods:

    • A specific technique for Hickman catheter insertion was developed and described.
    • The procedure was designed for execution by a single healthcare professional.

  • Simplicity of insertion and removal was a key design consideration.

    • Main Results:

    • Hickman catheters can be successfully inserted by a single operator.
    • The described technique is associated with low cost and minimal risk.
    • The insertion and removal process is notably simple.

    Conclusions:

    • The described technique offers a low-cost, low-risk alternative for Hickman catheter insertion.
    • Single-operator use enhances efficiency and accessibility of Hickman catheterization.
    • This method presents advantages over standard temporary central venous catheters in many clinical scenarios.
