While an 18-gauge, or a catheter measuring 0.234 inches (about 5.94 mm), used to be the standard, the development of short peripheral catheters with smaller but stronger walls made it possible to use a smaller size for a larger fluid flow.
Catheter size 7.2 F 5.0 f Catheter material Silicon Polyurethane Total inserted 6 19 every 3 weeks when the device was not used was flushed with Inj. Heplock. Apart from chemotherapy the port was used for blood sampling, blood transfusion, IV fluid administration and parenteral nutrition. The port was accessed by 22 gauge non-coring Huber needle. RESULTS The total cumulative venous access in this study was 7321 patient days. The mean access time per patient was 293 days ranging from 8 - 638 days. Fig. 1. Central venous port with the catheter.
