The Basics of Central Lines - Central Venous Catheters (CVC)

In this lesson I break down the basics about our central lines. We start of talking about what they are and the different indications for using one. I also discuss the different risks that are associated with them. I cover the different types that we see, talk about the care and maintenance of them and finally some key points for insertion and removal.

Just started watching your videos! I love what your doing!! Our daughter got diagnosed with cancer stage 4, high risk neuroblastoma at 2 years old. She has had a PICC line, tunneled central line with double lumens and a port placed for her cancer treatments. The PICC line was temporary since she had tested positive for RSV only a few days before we got her cancer diagnosis. Her oncologist wanted her to be able to start getting chemotherapy as soon as possible. A port and the central line were placed the next month. She is currently cancer free!

I'm a new grad SICU nurse, and I am relying very much on your videos throughout my orientation. Thank you so much for doing this!!! <3

Hi, i was watching your videos back in nursing school, and now I’m coming back as newly hired PICU nurse to refresh my brain, I just want to thank from my heart, your videos are helping me helping patients, thank you again🙏🏽.

I'm a new grad in critical care and just discovered your channel. It's very helpful! I'm finding there is a lot that was not covered (or barely covered) in nursing school that I'm encountering on the floor and your videos help me understand the concepts better than the explanation done on the floor or while charting. Thank you!!!

[amymunro]

From a medical student doing a cancer care block, I found this so useful for understanding the different types of central lines used and it was an incredibly clear and concise explanation. Excellent teaching, thank you.

[ashleybreland]

I am in nursing school and I found this video extremely helpful! It simplified what my textbook says and what my professor spoke hours on into a quick 20 minute video. The visuals within the video were also very helpful. Thank you for making this video!

[wallytostado]

Learned more during your videos than hours my nursing instructors did in 2 years

[Tiredtato]

Im transitioning from ER to ICU so I can apply for CRNA school, and your channel has taught me SO much! Thank you and keep up the great work 🎉

[andyadam]

I am a new grad nurse starting in the ICU!

I have been an ICU tech for almost two years!

This is so informational and helpful. Thank you so much. I will be listening to your vidoes!

I am simply a patient with an interest in central lines (as I’ve had them for over 13 years now) and I have to say, THANK YOU for teaching that scrubbing of the access line after a swab is needed.

[StephoFierce]

Awesome lesson! I've worked with central lines for years but this was a GREAT refresher and even taught me some things I didn't know!

[zackmhidig]

even though I am not an icu doctor and I don't do these central lines but I do watch them do every single day when I have operations . its extra knowledge ! thank you

[LISALISAo]

Amazingly taught! I am a new grad at cardio hosp, what you taught has made sense instantly, vs nursing school and my preceptor in that sense! Thank

[kiner]

Thank you sooo kindly. I’ve been awaiting for your content for better part of a month or two (at least that’s what it feels like). Good to have you back. Hope North Carolina life is treating you well my friend.

[sheridanrobbins]

Thank you very much, from an emergency nurse who is having to care for complicated ICU pts for longer and longer in the emergency department due to access block.

[Prescott]

As a physiotherapy student, I find this video very helpful. Videos this long usually gets boring along the line, but this was a masterpiece.

[laurenmcdonald]

Dialysis Patients have CVCs as well not just ICU Patients. This is really informative and I enjoyed learning about it.

[houston]

Fantastic 👏🏾 thank u for the information about laying pts on their left side with suspected air embolism. I can’t believe I didn’t know this.

[uknoyogirl]

Im a icu tech and I know nothing about the icu. I left from being a school teacher to this. I just feel so lost and confused but I’m willing to learn. It just seems like so much.

[jamesm]

cant explain how u make everything so easy to understand. As a developing nurse, i'm loving this new channel discovery, thank you! keep it up
