Anne Marie Frey BSN, RN, CRNI Clinical Nurse Level Four Vascular Access Nurse Specialist: IV Team The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Leadership Office: room 5057B, CHOP Main 5thFloor Phone: 215-590-4204 or ext. 44204 Beeper: 21826 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> "Lynn Hadaway" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/29/05 1:15 PM >>> The volume of the entire system - catheter, port body, and huber needle - can be as large as 2.5 mL. This is totally dependent on the length of catheter trimmed off, the size and profile of the port body, and the extension tubing on the port access needle. The port body itself holds a very small amount ranging from 0.2 mL to 0.8 mL.
