Selecting the right intravenous (IV) access device is crucial for patient care. This guide helps nurses and medical teams choose appropriate IV devices to prevent complications and ensure effective therapy delivery.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Nursing Care
  • Vascular Access

Background:

  • Central venous access has been a standard for intravenous (IV) therapies for over 25 years.
  • Inappropriate selection of central venous access catheters can lead to significant patient complications.
  • Existing protocols may not fully address the nuances of matching devices to individual patient needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide essential information for nursing and medical teams regarding the selection of intravenous (IV) devices.
  • To serve as a reference for developing protocols for assessing patients requiring IV therapies.
  • To assist nurses in matching appropriate vascular access devices to specific patient requirements.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current practices and complications associated with central venous access devices.
