While the use of small catheters is beneficial, it presents certain challenges:
Technical Difficulty: Inserting small catheters can be technically challenging, requiring skill and experience from healthcare providers. Limited Flow Rates: Smaller catheters have lower flow rates, which may not be sufficient for certain treatments requiring rapid administration of fluids or medications. Risk of Occlusion: Smaller catheters are more prone to occlusion, which can interrupt treatment and necessitate replacement.
