Is anyone using a central catheter that is rated for IV contrast and use of
power injector? The power injector we use has PSI of 300.
I have checked with Arrow (PSI limit of 15) and Edward's Lifesciences (PSI
limit of 43.5).
If unable to obtain peripheral IV, how is IV contrast injected?
Thanks
Debbie
