AV access guidelines

AV access guidelines refer to protocols for ensuring safe and effective access to the bloodstream via vascular routes, typically for people needing dialysis or long-term intravenous treatments. These guidelines cover aspects like the choice of access sites (like veins or arteries), maintenance practices to prevent infections, and monitoring for complications. Adhering to these guidelines helps healthcare providers create optimal conditions for treatment, ensuring that patients receive the needed therapy safely and effectively while minimizing risks associated with vascular access.
