Long-Term IV Line To A Central Vein, Young Child

North Dakota rates for HCPCS 36568

A long, thin tube is threaded into a vein in a limb and advanced until its tip sits in a large vein near the heart, giving dependable access for weeks of treatment in a child under five. In a small child the vein used may be in the arm or in the leg, whichever gives the best route, and the line is placed without imaging guidance. Nothing is buried under the skin; the tube stays visible where it enters the limb.
