central venous line

triple lumen CVL at subclavian vein

set of double lumen (left) and triple lumen (right)

how many central line that u know of?
how many method that a central line can be inserted?
that would be too many?

well that could be divided grossly
- into subclavian vein, internal jugular vein, femoral vein, basillic vein etc etc..
- long line, short line
- single lumen, double lumen, triple lumen...
- the usage??

a day in ICU, i was going to re-route a triple lumen, and Dr YSS would insert a femoral line for dialysis...

YSS walked near and leaned at the couch: hey SS, i dun know how to re-route a CVL, can i observe?"
"oh ya," i replied :"me too dun know how a femoral line being inserted, can u show me?"
" of course... but let us close the curtain first, dun let others see.." YSS said, followed by a chicky smile.

thus, we pulled the curtain to cover us, with the patient within.. but it so sound like we were doing something bad.. hehe..

then, suddenly a head tucked in, "hooi.. what both of you doing here, GAY is it?" Dr TT with a weird smile: "talk softly but laugh loudly, you two hah..."
"ya ya, u know la." YSS said: "keep quiet and dun tell others ok.."
i added: "or u want to join, then we can play threesome"

opps... that is not for child, if u are below 13, please close this page ya..
