Summary
Safe and effective vascular access is an important part of any program of parenteral nutrition. An appropriate vascular access device that is well placed and positioned will help to minimize complications associated with its use. The early recognition and treatment of device malfunction and complications associated with prolonged used will decrease any associated morbidity and mortality.
