What is a Central Venous Catheter?<\/h3>

A Central Venous Catheter (CVC)<\/strong>, also known as a central line<\/strong>, is a long, thin, flexible tube inserted into a large vein in the neck, chest, arm, or groin<\/strong>. The catheter tip is positioned in the vena cava<\/strong>, a major vein that carries blood directly to the heart.<\/p>

At Sarkar Hospital<\/strong>, CVCs are used to safely deliver medications, fluids, blood products, and nutrition, as well as for frequent blood sampling and emergency care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  • Blood or platelet transfusions<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • Chemotherapy<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • Emergency fluids or blood loss management<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • Frequent blood tests<\/strong><\/p><\/li>
