Tunnel-cuffed catheter catheters are one of the important means of vascular access for hemodialysis patients. Appropriate catheter placement methods and effective intervention measures can help improve the service life of tunnel catheters, reduce the incidence of complications, and ensure the quality of dialysis treatment. This article provides a review of the placement and maintenance of tunnel-cuffed catheters, with the aim of providing a reference for medical staff to perform tunnel-cuffed catheterization operations and reduce related complications. The placement of tunnel-cuffed catheters includes the type, location, and tip positioning of the catheter, the maintenance includes endovascular monitoring and use of disinfectants, dressings and ointments, use of sealing fluid, management of catheter complications, identification of individual differences and early assessment and screening.
