Patients receiving chemotherapy require frequent blood draws to monitor the treatmentâs effect on the body. The port can be used for these routine blood draws. Fluids and medications, such as anti-nausea medicines and antibiotics can be given through the port.
A port is placed beneath the skin surface, which decreases the risk for infection. Access is by sticking the port through the skin with a special needle. A port is a small, round disc made of plastic or metal that is placed under your skin. A catheter connects the port to a large vein, most often in your chest. Your nurse can insert a needle into your port to give you chemotherapy or draw blood.
