So are we keep then supine position?

[@abdallhsalah3087]

Yes

[@vashkarkhan301]

Cvp seems really, is it accurate though?

[@armchairapothecary]

1:55 300mm Hg, I suppose. Instead of Ag 😮😮

[@drsohailshaikh5252]

Why heparin ?

[@mohammedalaa99]

to prevent thrombosis

[@markarca6360]

It may occlude the lumen of the CVC, so heparinised saline or D5W is used. It is also used in invasive arterial lines.

[@MrLiehus]

@@markarca6360 How does it occlude if its continuous reading and continuous pressure flow?

[@catronomer]

Its for clotting

[@armchairapothecary]

We need that bit of heparin to keep everything open and flowing that needs to be open and flowing. It's a low dose, it's reversible, and it's prophylactically (as precaution) administered to minimize the risks of thrombosis and reduce the possibility of clot aggregation around the catheter and the insertion site.
Clots, no matter what shape or size, have this incredible ability to fuck up your day properly, sometimes with really hectic consequences. They can also kill.
So YES to heparin when having a central or PICC line placed. It saves either a lot of trouble, or it saves lives.
