Abstract
A stylet may be used to perform measurements via an indwelling catheter. The stylet can be configured in various ways to selectively occlude the indwelling catheter. Because of this selective occlusion, the indwelling catheter can be used for blood draws, infusions, and other functions even while the stylet remains extended through the indwelling catheter.
