Nurses may remove temporary hemodialysis catheters, but should be aware of the large catheter size increases the risk for both bleeding and air embolism. Nurses in CCTC are not approved to removed tunneled catheters or implantable ports. This includes tunneled dialysis lines (perm caths).
The physician, authorized prescriber, or RN who is educated and competent in the procedure should be responsible for removing the tunneled catheter or implanted port.
A tunneled catheter is a thin tube that is placed under the skin in a vein, allowing long-term access to the vein. It is commonly placed in the neck. It is most commonly placed in the neck (internal jugular) but may also be placed in the groin (femoral), liver (transhepatic), chest (subclavian) or back (translumbar).
There are two types of central venous catheters: tunneled and non-tunneled. Tunneled CVC's are placed under the skin and meant to be used for a longer duration of time. Non-tunneled catheters are designed to be temporary and may be put into a large vein near your neck, chest, or groin.
If you are not the ones who inserted the catheter, then you can bill for a nurse visit to perform the removal.

Types of Lines: Central Lines - (CVC)- Central Venous Catheter or central lines are inserted into large veins, typically the jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein. Common uses are for medication and fluid administration.
Arterial Line - (also known as: a-line or art-line) a thin catheter inserted into an artery; most commonly radial, ulnar, brachial, or dorsalis pedis artery. Most frequent care settings are intensive care unit or anesthesia when frequent blood draws or blood pressure monitoring are needed.
