Single, double and triple lumen catheters are central venous lines with one, two or three ports to connect to IV tubing, medications or monitors. These are usually inserted into the internal jugular vein in the neck, the subclavian vein in the upper chest under the clavicle or into the femoral vein in the leg.
What are the different types of central venous catheters?
The 7 different central venous catheters you need to know are: #1: The 7Fr Triple lumen catheter. The most common central line inserted is the 7 French triple lumen catheter. Every central line manufacturer that I am aware of has a 7 French triple lumen catheter in their product lineup.
Can a triple lumen catheter be used for blood transfusions?
A triple lumen catheter has two channels which allow contrast to be injected while keeping a wire in place. Lyle E. Kirson DDS, Jacob Friedman MD, in Anesthesia Secrets (Fourth Edition), 2011 24 Can you use the central venous catheter for blood transfusions? It depends on catheter size.
What are multi-lumen central venous catheters?
The Multi-Lumen Central Venous Catheters are part of a complete line of critical care catheters offered with no natural rubber latex components in order to reduce the risk of patient latex allergy or hypersensitivity, without compromising performance. Our Multi-lumen CVCs are available in the following kit configurations:
What is the difference between a double lumen and a triple lumen?
If you place the central line for volume resuscitation or simple IV access, the double lumen catheter may be a better choice than a 7fr triple lumen. These catheters may be a larger french so each lumen is larger allowing for faster flow rates. See Poiseuille’s Law.

What is the cuff in a catheter?
There’s a cuff in the part that sits in the tunnel, which helps hold the catheter in place. Your doctor then uses stitches to close the cuts and puts a dressing over both.

What is a 12 gauge lumen?
In these situations, The two 12 gauge lumens can be attached to a rapid infuser such as the Belmont device and the smaller central port attached to your vasopressor infusions.
What is a multi-lumen introducer sheath?
The multi-lumen introducer sheath is an introducer sheath with additional vascular access ports incorporated into the sheath. The multi-lumen introducer sheath provides the ability to introduce a catheter-based device and provides additional IV access ports with a single device limiting the number of central venous access sites needed to provide the same level of access.
What can a large diameter catheter lead to?
The large diameter of the catheter can lead to the formation of a central venous thrombus formation.
What is the most common central line inserted?
The most common central line inserted is the 7 French triple lumen catheter. Every central line manufacturer that I am aware of has a 7 French triple lumen catheter in their product lineup. It is the workhorse of your typical academic medical center and ICUs around the world.
