Consequences of Central Venous Catheterization: Identification, Discussion and Methods for Reduction of Common CVC and PICC Complications
Recorded On: 04/08/2015
Developed through a continuing nursing education grant from Teleflex, Inc.
Central venous catheterization is a common procedure performed in hospital settings and has increased dramatically over the last 15 years since the introduction of the PICC. The use of central venous catheters can be associated with both positive and negative experiences. PICC's as well have serious consequences despite their ease of placement and presumed innocuous risks. This presentation will review the most common complications associated with the presence of a CVC or PICC and describe any interconnection between them. Methods for reduction of these complications will be reviewed. A brief overview of financial ramifications associated with recently implemented healthcare reform will be discussed as well.
