Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Vascular Access

Background:

  • Indwelling central venous catheters are crucial for various renal replacement therapies and critical care interventions.
  • Modifications in catheter design have enabled both acute and long-term use, including hemodialysis, plasmapheresis, and continuous renal replacement therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current applications of central venous catheters for hemodialysis and related procedures.
  • To identify and discuss unresolved questions regarding optimal catheter selection, insertion techniques, and management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and clinical practices concerning central venous catheter use.
  • Discussion of key controversies and areas requiring further investigation.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Central venous catheters are versatile for acute/chronic hemodialysis, fluid overload, intoxication, plasmapheresis, and continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration (CAVH).
  • Innovations allow long-term access via surgically inserted or blind-inserted soft, large-bore catheters.

Conclusions:

  • Key questions remain regarding preferred insertion sites (subclavian, femoral, jugular), catheter stiffness, surgical vs. blind insertion, utility of ultrasound guidance, material acceptability, and single vs. double lumen use.
  • Further research is needed to standardize best practices for central venous catheter utilization in hemodialysis and critical care.
