| 0-0.5 | 3F | 3F | 3F |
| 0.5-2 | 3F | 3F | 3-4F |
| 3-6 | 4F | 4F | 4-5F |

Insertion Distance
Initial length of insertion (cm) = 1.7 + [(0.07 x height (cm)][1]
Contraindications
Central line if coagulopathic
- Preferentially use a compressible site such as the femoral location (avoid the IJ and subclavian if possible, though IJ preferred over subclavian)
- No benefit to giving FFP unless artery is punctured[2]
- However, consider giving FFP if patient has hemophilia[3]
