Appropriate PIV/CVC for aRCE according to patient weight

Weight of patient (kg)	Size of PIV for draw^* (Gauge)	Size of PIV for return (Gauge)	Size of CVC (French)

A range of PIV sizes is suggested; however note that some patients may require smaller or larger PIVs based on their individual anatomy and the flow rates achieved.

We have not performed apheresis procedures in patients <10 kg with PIVs.
