They are good up to 7 days. You would have to self-flush (or have a helper do it) with saline twice a day. A hep lock would also work, and I think you could go all day without flushing it.

Does the doctor have to order it or can the infusion center do it on their own?
Thanks for your help Mike Quote:

I had my port put in my a surgeon (can't remember exactly what type of surgeon). I told my neuro I wanted a port and he referred me to the correct doctor. As far as being invasive, it was done in the doctors office under a very light anesthesia (I was awake for most of the procedure). They used lidocaine to deaden the incision site and from there on, it was fairly easy. It hurt worse when I had a PIK line installed in my arm when I was in ICU. They used lidocaine for that also.
Good luck with whatever you chose. |
