A technique for insertion of two intravascular catheters via a single skin puncture.
Modern intensive care often requires multiple intravascular catheters, and sites of access may be limited. Therefore, a technique for insertion of two vascular catheters via a single skin puncture has been developed. No increased incidence of bleeding, sepsis, or other complications has been observed, the hazards of multiple procedures are avoided, and alternative sites for vascular access are preserved.
