You have a central line. This is a long tube (catheter) that goes into a vein in your chest or arm and ends at your heart. Your central line will carry nutrients and medicine into your body. It can also be used to take blood when you need to have blood tests.
Central line infections are very serious. They can make you sick and increase how long you are in the hospital. Your central line needs special care to prevent infection.
