Immediate aspiration of the drug infused via central venous catheter through the distally positioned central venous dialysis catheter: An experimental study.

CONCLUSION: Findings of our experimental model suggest that concentration of aspired drug is effected by the distance between the central venous catheter and central venous dialysis catheter, being lowest when the drug is infused distally to central venous dialysis catheter. Furthermore, the concentration of the tracer is directly proportional to the infusion speed and far less effected by the aspiration rate of the drug.
