Title: something I learned about catheters
Post by: sullidog on December 07, 2011, 07:40:24 PM

Thought I'd share something I learned about catheters. I am use to having the catheters installed on the same side as my access, but the radiologist who put mine in Monday put it on the opisit side, he said that you should never put a catheter on the same side as your access because it will slow down the blood flow. I never knew this but it makes sence.
