Abstract
This article aims to provide an overview of the range of long- and short-term vascular access devices (VADs) used in most healthcare settings for the administration of intravenous therapies or to deliver medical interventions. This article will describe the devices in use and the rationale for correct device selection; and how to reduce the risk of catheter related complications. Within the article, there is a discussion on the optimal care and maintenance procedures necessary to help ensure that VAD dwell complications free and until treatment is complete. This ensures patient safety, satisfaction, and an improved patient experience.
