Vascular Access Management

Vascular access management involves the careful placement, maintenance, and removal of devices like catheters or IV lines used to deliver medications, fluids, or nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Proper management ensures these devices remain functional and reduce the risk of infections or complications. This includes regular cleaning, monitoring for signs of infection or blockage, and following protocols for safe handling. Effective vascular access management is essential for patient safety, enabling efficient treatment while minimizing risks associated with long-term or repeated access to the bloodstream.
