Patients in ICU often require hemodialysis and multiple blood samplings. For these patients, central venous catheters are inserted and for dialysis patients, hemodialysis catheters are also inserted. These should be kept free from any kind of infections. If not taken care of, it may lead to life-threatening complications for patients. For example, it may result in sepsis as well as death of patients. While inserting the catheter, adequate precautions and care points must be considered. Adequate dressings need to be made and if the patient has a fever, it must be taken care of immediately.
