Abstract
Peripheral venous access devices are the most commonly used vascular access devices in pediatric patients. They are inexpensive and relatively safe, even if—in not used properly—may be associated with severe complications. If compared with adult patients, peripheral venous access in children has some peculiarities in terms of indication, choice of material, technique of insertion and maintenance, which all will be discussed in this chapter.
