  1. Returning blood

    amicro replied to silverfoxxy's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology
    I think where it matters most is with aN IJ catheter or new access - fistual or graft. The danger is the risk of damaging the blood vessel. Do you aspirate blood into the final flush for a Tessio catheter?

  2. Returning blood

    amicro replied to silverfoxxy's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology
    I have an IJ Tessio catheter and am new to this dalysis center. Recently I noticed that my nurse pulls back blood before flushing the final heparinized saline through. Ofcourse, twice they have had to use retiplase. I tell them not to aspirate but leave the clear heparinized saline in the cath but they claim they have always aspirated. Isn't the problem the blood mixed in with the flush that sits in the line?

  3. To Aspirate or Not

    Hello, Dialysis Nurses; A question for you. When you flush a Tessio catheter do you pull back - aspirate couple cc's of blood and mix it into the final flush? Why or why not?
