In the pediatric population, special considerations for vascular access need to be included in the plan of care. In this session, crucial topics for evidence-based care are covered, including the differences between central and peripheral vascular access devices (VADs) and the indications for each; proper and improper function of VADs and basic troubleshooting; how to provide high quality care and maintenance of VADs to ensure the reliability of the device; and the special considerations that must be undertaken with bedside procedures involving vascular access devices on pediatric patients.
