Abstract
Vascular access is a vital component of modern medicine. In-depth clinical evaluation is essential for proper device selection and improved outcomes. Implementation of an aseptic technique during and after catheter placement, proper catheter management, and utilization of smallest size catheter and limiting catheter indwelling time are critical in minimizing complications and maximizing catheter functionality. Despite recent advances in access technique, development of newer medical devices, and utilization of image guidance, major complications such as injury, hemorrhage, infection, and thrombosis still do occur. Perhaps the best way to ensure clinical success when obtaining vascular access is to observe the following mantra, “Right patient, right line, and right time.”
