	Hickman line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hickman lines may remain in place for extended periods and are used when long-term intravenous access is needed.
		The insertion of a Hickman line is usually done under sedation or a general anesthetic by a radiologist or surgeon.
		Hickman et al, after whom the system is named, further modified the principles with subcutaneous tunneling and a Dacron cuff that formed an infection barrier.

	Central lines (Skin-tunnelled venous catheters) : Cancerbackup
		The central line is inserted (tunnelled) under the skin of your chest into a vein.
		A central line can be used to give you treatments such as chemotherapy, antibiotics and intravenous fluids and feeding.
		When the central line is not being used there is a small risk that it may become blocked.

		The Hickman line is a special intravenous device that is used to give intravenous fluids, blood transfusions, medications and the bone marrow stem cells.
		It is possible to leave the Hickman line in place for so long because it is inserted through a tunnel in the skin.
		This means that the line enters a vein in the neck and exits from the patient's upper chest.

		In this photo, the day after the Hickman was placed, the nurse is swabbing the area with betadine to cleanse it.
		The Hickman itself is the white tubing that you see in the photo.
		The betadine was only used because the catheter is so new, and does not have to be used every day, although the line does have to be cleansed, and the dressing changed every 24 hours.

		Hickman® line cuff should be placed not less than 5cm from point of entry on the skin but other types of catheter are widely used, some with cuffs much further from the exit.

	Autologous Transplant - Central Line
		To avoid the need for repeated needle pokes, a central line is placed either at the start of the chemotherapy or just before the stem cell collection.
		This is similar to a "Hickman line," but it is slightly thicker and stronger.
		Central lines may be left in place for a number of years, although they are usually removed sooner.

	Central Lines - Patient Information from California Pacific Medical Center's Department of Pediatrics
		A central line is placed in a large vein and can be used to administer medication directly into the bloodstream, blood products can be transfused, and blood for labs can be withdrawn without repeatedly inserting a needle through the skin and into a vein.
		Central lines are for “long term” use, meaning they will be left in place for months to years.
		The "HICKMAN"® catheter or "BROVIAC"® catheter is primarily used to infuse medication and fluids into a large vein without the discomfort of a needle being inserted into the vein.

	What is the difference between a Hickman® line and a Groshong® line? : Cancerbackup (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		The internal end (the end which lies in the vein) of the Hickman line (and the similar Broviac catheter) have an open end.
		This means that blood from the vein can flow freely into the Hickman (or Broviac) line but only flows into the Groshong line when suction is applied from a syringe attached to the external end of the line.
		With Groshong lines there is no need for external clamps (because of the internal valve) and only an occasional flush with sterile salt water solution is needed.

		Hickman developed the Hickman line back in the 1960's as a way to help children not to have to experience so many painful needle pokes when undergoing cancer treatment.
		Hickman was assisted with the surgery by a wonderful group of nurses and surgical assistants.

	Death after inserting Hickman line was probably avoidable (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		The death of a 15 year old girl in 1998 due to a complication of inserting a Hickman line could have been avoided if the length of introducers used in these procedures was reduced, argues a consultant surgeon in this week’s BMJ.
		He believes that a major factor is the design of the equipment, and in particular the length of the introducing dilator.
		However the typical length of the dilator provided by most manufacturers for line insertion is almost 20 cm, so when it is placed fully within the vein in the neck as required its tip is lying within the heart.

		The Hickman Line is made of siliconized rubber, the most body-friendly material known.

	What is a 'central line'?
		A central line is a tube that goes into the chest and directly into one of the major blood vessels.
		When all the drugs have been passed through the line it is flushed through with sterile saline and an anti-clotting drug and sealed off again.
		The advantage of having a central line is that you don't have to have injections or drips put in.

	Care of your PICC - A guide for patients and their families (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		A PICC lines are inserted when a central line is needed for a few weeks.
		A PICC is sometimes used as a temporary central line for people who should ideally have a HICKMAN ® type of central line but are not able to have one, for example, because they are on anticoagulation therapy, taking aspirin, have abnormal blood count results, or are unable to lie flat.
		This is preferable to submerging your line and PICC in bathwater because of the risk of infection.
