To start hemodialysis (also called dialysis) right away, your doctor will insert a soft plastic tube into a vein. This tube will carry your blood to the dialysis machine. The tube is called a central venous catheter, or CV line.
What is a tunnelled dialysis catheter?
A tunneled catheter has two inner channels, one for removing the blood to the machine and the other for returning blood to the bloodstream. The catheter usually enters the skin below the collar bone (clavicle) and travels under the skin to enter the jugular vein, with its tip in the very large vein (the vena cava).
What are the complications of dialysis catheter?
Catheter-related complications included catheter-related infection (catheter exit-site infection, catheter tunnel infection and catheter-related bloodstream infection), catheter dysfunction (thrombosis, catheter malposition or kinking, and fibrin shell formation) and central vein stenosis.
What is tunneled and non-tunneled?
There are two types of central venous catheters: tunneled and non-tunneled. Tunneled CVC’s are placed under the skin and meant to be used for a longer duration of time. Non-tunneled catheters are designed to be temporary and may be put into a large vein near your neck, chest, or groin.
What are the symptoms of dialysis catheter infection?
The signs and symptoms of a catheter infection include:
- Fever.
- Chills.
- Drainage from the catheter exit site.
- Redness or tenderness around the catheter exit site.
- General feeling of weakness and illness.
What are 2 types of dialysis?
There are 3 main types of dialysis: in-center hemodialysis, home hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis.
How can you tell if a catheter is tunneled or non-tunneled?
What is the difference between a tunneled catheter and a PICC line?
Needs multiple blood draws for lab tests (more blood draws can be done with a tunneled catheter than with a PICC line) Has peripheral veins that are not large enough for a PICC line. Has small veins in the body that can no longer be used for giving fluids or drugs.

Was ist ein Dialysekatheter?
Ein Dialysekatheter ist ein Katheter, der für eine akut indizierte Dialyse verwendet wird. Diaysekatheter haben ein oder zwei Lumen, die im Vergleich zu anderen Kathetern verhältnismäßig groß sind, damit ein ausreichender Blutfluss gewährleistet ist. Indikationen sind u.a.:
Was tun wenn der Dialysekatheter nicht für die Hämodialyse genutzt wird?
Umgang und Pflege. Wird der Dialysekatheter nicht für die Hämodialyse genutzt, wird er mit Heparin- oder Citratlösung geblockt. Wegen der obengenannten Probleme, einem hohen Infektionsrisiko sowie hohem Blutverlust bei unsachgemäßer Verwendung müssen diese Katheter besonders überwacht werden.
Kann man mit einem zentralen Venenkatheter eine dauerhafte Dialyse überbrücken?
Längere Zeiträume bis zur Anlage eines funktionsfähigen Dialyseshunts können mit einem permanenten zentralen Venenkatheter überbrückt werden. Auch eine dauerhafte Dialyse ist hierüber möglich. Eine Möglichkeit ist der nach seinem Erfinder benannte Demers-Katheter .
