Discuss Removal of Central Line
As your recovery progresses, your care team may begin discussing the possibility of removing your central line.
This decision depends on several factors, including:
Your age and overall health
How many lab tests or treatments are still needed
How well is your body recovering
Risk of infection or complications
Your personal preferences and comfort
If line removal is important to you, let your care team know. It’s okay to bring it up—they’ll work with you to decide when the timing is right and ensure the process is safe.
