1VASCULAR ACCESS DEVICESIntroduced in early 1980s
Allow medications to be delivered directly into larger veins
Less likely to clot
Can be left in for longer periods of time

3TUNNELED CATHETERSSurgically insertedTunnel made through subcutaneous tissue (usually b/t clavicle and nipple)Tip inserted through cephalic, internal or external jugular and threaded into superior vena cavaHeld in place with Dacron cuff under skinPlacement verified through x-rayCan be single, double or triple lumen4Tunneled catheters Placement of Tunneled CathetersTunneled Catheters
5PERCUTANEOUS CATHETERS -PORTSFirst used in oncology patients in 1981; now 100,000 ports implanted yearlySurgically implanted beneath skin, usually in chest regionRight side of chest preferable d/t anatomy (superior vena cava) kangaroo pocket created for portal bodyAccessed by IP, Huber, or other type of needle with deflective, non-coring tip

7Reasons for PortsLong term IV therapyFrequent blood transfusions or blood drawsBone marrow transplantProtection of smaller vessels
8PortsAdvantagesDecreased chance of infection port sealed under skinLess interference with ADLs no external componentsLess body image concerns (teens)Long usable life up to 10 years (compared to
