Hi All, Those of you experienced using these HD catheters, how do you maintain the third lumen (the one not used for HD). Specifically, I'm wondering how often it gets flushed when not being used and with what concentration of heparin. One source told us to treat it like a regular percutaneous central line (which we flush every shift). I'm wondering if a less frequent flush would maintain patency.
