Insertion Instructions
Insertion Instructions
1. Identify the Vein and Insertion Site
• Apply a tourniquet above the anticipated
insertion site.
• Select a vein based on patient assess-
ment. Veins of the antecubital fossa are
recommended (basilic, cephalic median
cubital veins) with the basilic preferred.
• Release tourniquet.
2. Patient Position/ Catheter Measurement
• Position the arm at a 90° angle.
• For SVC placement, measure from the planned insertion site over to
the sternal notch, then down to the third intercostal space.
• For midline placement, measure to desired tip location in proximal
portion of extremity, just distal to the shoulder and deltoid muscle.
• Note that the external measurement can never exactly duplicate the
internal venous anatomy.
