1. An integrated catheter assembly, comprising:
a housing member having a first end and a second end;
an elongated outer lumen member, having a first and second end, extending from the first end of the housing member;
a non-removable elongated inner lumen member, having a first and second end, also adapted to be supported at the second end of the inner lumen member within the first end of the housing member; and
a removeable needle assembly comprising:
a holder assembly, and
a needle supported by said holder assembly and adapted to be removably inserted through the housing member and into the inner lumen member, said first end of the needle extending past the first end of the inner lumen member;
wherein said outer lumen member includes at least one aperture generally proximate the first end of said outer lumen member and distal said housing member defining commencement of a first passageway between the outer diameter of the inner lumen member and the inner diameter of the outer lumen member;
wherein the interior of the inner lumen member forms a second passageway extending from the first end of the inner lumen member distal said housing member, through said housing following the removal of the needle assembly, and
wherein the first and second passageways permit the simultaneous flow of fluids into or out of a body from a single target site.
