[edit] Haemodialysis

I work in the Renal ward of my local hospital and thought I should point out we use Internal Jugular and Femoral lines as temporary access, along with Tunnel Neck Lines (Sub-clavian) as a more permanent solution. This is usually until a fistula can be created as this has a lower risk of infection. Perhaps someone with more medical knowledge (i'm just a Health Care Assistant) could add to the page ?
