Permacath & Jugular Catheter Insertion in Gorakhpur
What is Permacath Insertion?
Safe and reliable vascular access is the cornerstone of effective dialysis treatment. For patients requiring urgent or temporary access, Permacath insertion in Gorakhpur and Jugular catheter insertion in Gorakhpur are vital procedures.
At Regency Hospital, Dr. Arpit Srivastava, leading kidney specialist in Gorakhpur, performs these procedures with precision and care, ensuring minimal risks and quick recovery.
A Permacath is a tunneled central venous catheter, usually placed in the internal jugular vein. It provides medium- to long-term dialysis access for patients who are not yet ready for permanent solutions like an AV fistula.

A Jugular catheter is a non-tunneled catheter inserted directly into the jugular vein. It is typically used for short-term or emergency dialysis access, especially in critically ill patients.
Best suited for:
- Emergency dialysis in acute kidney injury (AKI)
- Critically ill patients requiring urgent vascular access
- Temporary dialysis support until permanent access is ready
Why Catheters are Needed in Dialysis
Dialysis removes waste and excess fluids when kidneys fail. Catheters provide a direct pathway for blood circulation during dialysis and are essential when:
- Kidney failure requires immediate treatment
- Permanent access (AV fistula or graft) is not ready
- Short-term access is required due to medical conditions
The Procedure – Step by Step
Both Permacath and Jugular catheter insertions are performed with advanced imaging guidance and sterile precautions.
- Pre-procedure evaluation – medical history, physical exam, and diagnostic tests
- Preparation – sterilization of site, local anesthesia, and patient comfort measures
-
Insertion –
- Permacath: catheter tunneled under skin, exit site on chest
- Jugular catheter: direct vein placement for short-term use
- Verification & securing – ultrasound/fluoroscopy guidance ensures correct placement
- Post-procedure care – sterile dressing, patient education, and immediate dialysis access
Typical duration: 30–60 minutes

- Attend regular checkups with your nephrologist
Who Needs Permacath or Jugular Catheter Insertion?
These procedures are commonly performed for patients with:
- End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) needing immediate dialysis
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requiring temporary access
- Delay in AV fistula/graft maturation
- Complex medical conditions preventing permanent access
Preparing for the Procedure
- Share your medical history and medications with your doctor
- Complete required blood tests and imaging
- Follow instructions on fasting/medications before procedure
- Address any questions with your kidney specialist doctor in Gorakhpur
Post-Procedure Recovery
- Rest for 24–48 hours
- Keep site clean and follow dressing change instructions
- Begin dialysis within hours if required
- Resume normal activity within 1–2 days (with guidance)
Transition to Long-Term Access
While catheters are effective for urgent needs, long-term dialysis usually requires:
- AV Fistula – natural artery-vein connection (gold standard)
- AV Graft – synthetic tube connecting artery and vein
Dr. Srivastava guides patients in transitioning to permanent access when suitable.
