re port catheter placement, plse sm
Subject: re port catheter placement, plse sm

The patient had port catheter placement. It was not an easy access surgery and it was placed via a left internal jugular approach and even the initial film showed it curling at the
s/l juxta??? juctious??? subclavian vein with the tip either in the superior vena cava or in an azygous branch.

Can't quite make out what he is saying there. Anyone have an idea? TIA.

So if the patient is allergic, they would premedicate with Benadryl.  They do that before a lot of diagnostic procedures.
