The present management of onco-haematologic patients may require continuous infusion of cytotoxic drugs, use of drugs or concentrated ion solutions which are toxic for the endothelial wall of small vessels, infusion of large amounts of antibiotics or antimycotics, red blood cell and platelet transfusion, and not rarely parenteral nutrition. Such a complex therapy needs a vascular access by a central vein catheter (CVC) insertion. Many types of CVC are available at present: tunnelled Hickman or Hickmanlike catheters, subcutaneous ports, tunnelled catheters with Groshong valve, external untunnelled catheters.

Abstract
The present management of onco-haematologic patients may require continuous infusion of cytotoxic drugs, use of drugs or concentrated ion solutions which are toxic for the endothelial wall of small vessels, infusion of large amounts of antibiotics or antimycotics, red blood cell and platelet transfusion, and not rarely parenteral nutrition. Such a complex therapy needs a vascular access by a central vein catheter (CVC) insertion. Many types of CVC are available at present: tunnelled Hickman or Hickmanlike catheters, subcutaneous ports, tunnelled catheters with Groshong valve, external untunnelled catheters.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
