Vascular access complications

Vascular access complications are issues that can happen when medical devices like catheters or needles are used to reach blood vessels. These problems include infections at the insertion site, bleeding, blood clots blocking the vessel, or damage to the blood vessel itself. Sometimes, the access point may not work properly or may cause pain. Proper care and attention can help minimize these risks. Recognizing and managing complications quickly is important to ensure safe treatment and prevent further health issues.
