This comprehensive guide outlines evidence-based principles of vascular access and infusion therapy across the lifespan, including neonatal, pediatric, obstetric, and geriatric populations. It covers regulatory compliance, ethical practice, device selection, infusion accuracy, and population-specific risks such as DEHP exposure, DIVA management, pregnancy-related hypercoagulability, and geriatric polypharmacy. Designed for clinicians, nurses, and vascular access specialists, this resource supports safe, patient-centered decision-making aligned with current standards of care.
A candid critique of healthcare's resistance to innovation: why vascular access and clinical practice remain stuck in outdated patterns while real problems like CLABSIs persist.
Comprehensive guide to preventing hemolysis during blood draws: understanding catheter-to-vein ratio (CVR), cavitation physics, and evidence-based techniques for optimal lab sample quality.
Comprehensive guide to clinical decision-making in vascular access: exploring interprofessional collaboration, evidence-based protocols, and patient-centered care strategies for optimal outcomes.
Evidence-based clinical guidelines for vascular access device removal: comprehensive protocols for PIVCs, midline catheters, and central lines to optimize patient safety and outcomes.
Comprehensive clinical guideline for Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) management in vascular access: evidence-based protocols for assessment, prevention, and treatment strategies.
