Selection of vascular access devices is a collaborative, multifactorial process that includes patient factors, device characteristics, therapeutic issues, and duration of therapy. Infants and children have additional unique needs. Newer technology is focused on the reduction of complications associated with central venous access and the hazards posed to health care workers when inserting devices and providing patient care.
