Overview
- 8.5 Fr diameter, 6.5 cm long infusion catheter
- Designed to be exchanged through a 20-gauge PIV via Seldinger technique
- Can achieve flow rates >600 ml/min with pressure (higher than a sheath introducer or 14-gauge PIV]][1]
Indications
- Vascular access
- Rapid large-volume fluid or blood administration
Contraindications
Absolute
- Infection over the placement site
- Anatomic obstruction (thrombosis of target vein, other anatomic variance)
Relative
- Coagulopathy
- Distortion of landmarks by trauma or congenital anomalies
- Prior vessel injury or procedures
- Ideally need at least 6-8 cm of relatively straight vein
Equipment Needed
- Arrow brand RIC set
- RIC line with dilator
- Wire
- Scalpel
- Pre-existing PIV (at least 20-gauge or larger bore)
- Suture material

Complications
