Placing a catheter. Artwork showing the placement of a catheter in a patients blood vessel. A hypodermic needle is being inserted at an angle of 25 degrees (centre left). The inset diagram (upper right) shows the needle being threaded along the lumen of the blood vessel. Once inserted in the blood vessel, the needle will be taped to keep it in place. Here, the catheter will be used as a shunt, a device used to drain excess fluid. Catheters can also be used to administer drugs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Placing a Catheter" offers a detailed depiction of the intricate process involved in inserting a catheter into a patient's blood vessel. The central focus of the image showcases a skilled medical professional delicately positioning a hypodermic needle at an angle of 25 degrees, emphasizing their precision and expertise. The inset diagram located in the upper right corner provides further insight into this procedure. It illustrates how the needle is carefully threaded along the lumen of the blood vessel, ensuring accurate placement. Once successfully inserted, the needle will be securely taped to maintain its position within the blood vessel. In this particular scenario, the catheter serves as an essential shunt device designed to drain excess fluid from the patient's body. However, it is important to note that catheters can also be utilized for drug administration purposes. Within this thought-provoking artwork by D & L GRAPHICS / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we witness both artistry and science seamlessly intertwining as medical professionals employ advanced technology and surgical techniques to enhance patient care. This illustration not only highlights their unwavering dedication but also emphasizes how crucial these devices are in modern medicine. With its meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive portrayal of various elements such as veins, circulation systems, and hands engaged in this delicate task, this print serves as an educational tool that sheds light on one aspect of medical intervention with remarkable clarity.
