venous access

Venous access is a method used by healthcare professionals to deliver medications, fluids, or nutrients directly into a patient's bloodstream through veins. A small, sterile tube called a catheter is inserted into a vein, often in the arm or neck. This allows quick, efficient delivery of treatment, blood sampling, or monitoring. Venous access can range from simple injections to more long-term solutions like implanted ports, depending on the patient's needs. It helps ensure medications work effectively and reduces the need for multiple needle sticks. Proper technique and care are essential to prevent infections and complications.
