A Cautionary Tale on the Central Venous Catheter: Medical Note for Oral Physicians
Chidambaram, Ramasamy
Abstract
Complexity in the health status of patients with kidney disease forces to seek the aid of medical
devices such as the central venous catheter (CVC) that is essential in order to perform hemodialysis.
Elementary information about the CVC, as required for the oral healthcare professionals, has been
documented so as to serve as a medical manual. This communication is the first of its kind that
conjointly delineates vital considerations, which precede dental maneuvers in patients implanted
with a CVC.
Keywords
