Abstract:
Over the years, central lines have evolved from short-term, triple-lumen catheters used to administer medications and fluids to acutely ill patients into central venous access devices (CVADs) designed for long-term use in both hospitalized patients and outpatients. However, complications related to CVADs, especially catheter-related infections, can be costly in terms of patient mortality and health care dollars. Radiologic technologists who have a working knowledge of CVADs can contribute to patient management, reduce complications and provide safe, comfortable care.
