In The 17 Yrs Ive Been In Hd It Is Allways Been Understod That The Hemo Cath Should Never Be Used Unless The Pt In Cardiac Arrest. You Must Remember That Hd Caths Are A Life Line. If They Are Not Used And Then Flushed Correctly They Could Clot And Might Have To Be Changed Or Declotted And These Options Cost A Ton. As Far As Cleaning Them The ,same Thought Applies Dont Touch . Have A Good Day I Hope Ive Helped :)
