Central Line Management

Central venous access is indicated in certain hospitalized patients. Common indications for central venous catheter placement include inadequate peripheral venous access, hemodynamic monitoring or central venous pressure recording, peripherally incompatible infusions due to the potency or irritant properties of administered medications, and the administration of various therapies, including dialysis. However, central venous access carries potential risks to the patient. Thus, institutional protocols must be followed to ensure a safe, successful placement. Moreover, bundles are in place for routine management to prevent catheter-associated complications. The most common complications include infection, thrombosis, and other mechanical difficulties. This activity aims to illustrate how to manage central venous catheters safely and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in preventing catheter-associated complications.
