Great strides have been made in the past 2 decades regarding the care and management of central venous catheters (CVCs). Some of what is known has come from research, but much more has come through trial and error. With all that has been learned, there are still many unanswered questions. It is time to join together, independent of organization or discipline, and create multicenter protocols to answer remaining questions, so that we can stop the trial and error and help standardize care.
