Today’s Vascular Wellness Voice features a permcath patient case that describes how a patient in a hospital ICU needed abdominal surgery, but his critical condition resulted in the need for a Permcath (also known as a Tunneled Dialysis Catheter) so he could be discharged and receive six weeks of hemodialysis, and then return stronger and ready for surgery. This NCIA patient story reiterates how an expertly trained Vascular Wellness vascular access specialist can provide these critical devices.

Nurse Clinicians in Action Patient Case:
Permcath Patient Case
Placement of a temporary or tunneled dialysis catheter is one of the most common ways to initiate hemodialysis. Healthcare facilities that used to transfer renal patients to other facilities for renal care are now being asked to provide these services due to increasing demand. Vascular Wellness has proven itself as a valuable partner assisting facilities with both established and newly formed renal programs by being able to provide the correct catheters quickly and efficiently for patients in need of dialysis. Our Vascular Access Board Certified nurse clinicians expertly place these lines at the patients’ bedside the same day.

Vascular Access for Surgical Rehabilitation Patient – NCIA 30
Rehabilitative care after hospitalization often specializes in preparing a patient for their return home to independent living. It is especially helpful to have expert consultation at these types of facilities, whether Long Term Acute Care Hospitals or Skilled Nursing Facilities. While these facilities focus on rehabilitation, they may lack specialized clinicians in vascular access. Collaborating with vascular access experts can ensure optimal recommendations and results for patients’ vascular access needs.
