The patient's side of the arterial port was clamped, and the blood rinsed back from the machine to the patient.

Dialysis line separation: maximizing patient safety through education and visibility of access site for patients on hemodialysis

Fluoroscopy showed that contrast injected through the arterial port of the catheter entered the right atrium and flowed into the pulmonary artery; contrast put into the venous port entered the left atrium and flowed into the aorta (Figure 2).

Stroke due to migration of a hemodialysis catheter across the atrial septum

Until arterial port systems are designed and commercially available, this treatment would not be widely available or mainstream.

INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGISTS PROVIDE LOCALIZED CHEMOTHERAPY

The arterial port draws blood from the right atrium.

Teleflex Announces FDA Clearance to Market Arrow NextStep Antegrade Catheter for Chronic Hemodialysis

Using the empty 3 milliliter sterile syringe attached to the red arterial port (the red cap is gone), unclamp catheter port and withdraw 3 milliliters of blood to remove the heparin flush.

Clinical and cost effectiveness of guidelines to prevent intravascular catheter-related infections in patients on hemodialysis

The venous port releases blood in the SVC and the arterial port draws blood from the right atrium.

The design of this catheter allows 360 degrees of blood around the arterial port in the right atrium whereas the arterial port of traditional step-tip catheters are only exposed to 180 degrees of blood," said John Ross MD, Department of Surgery, Bamberg County Hospital and Access Connections, LLC.

Teleflex Medical Introduces the Next Step in Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter Technology -- the Arrow(R) NextStep(TM)

Because maintenance and bolus doses of heparin are injected into the venous port of the dialysis circuit and are subsequently diluted in the plasma volume, blood sampled from the arterial port is unlikely to have concentrations of heparin greater than 2 U/mL.

Sampling for International Normalized Ratios in patients on hemodialysis with central venous catheters

Prior to the study, our INR sampling method involved a 5 ml blood discard from each port and a 60 ml aspiration from the arterial port of the catheter that was replaced after the INR sample was withdrawn.

One unit withdrew an additional 10 ml of blood before taking the INR sample from the CVC arterial port, while five units withdrew an additional 20 ml of blood prior to sample collection from the CVC arterial port.

The second sample was taken after a 5 ml sample of blood was aspirated and discarded from both CVC ports followed by an additional 20 ml aspiration from the arterial port.

Comparison of sampling methods for obtaining accurate coagulation values in hemodialysis patients with heparinized Central Venous Catheters. (Research Brief)

If protocol allows, in adults, using sterile technique, withdraw 10 ml of blood from the arterial port and save for reinfusion.
