  • Summary

    The provision of safe, appropriate and effective vascular access for children is complex and can be very challenging. This chapter will outline the routes available for vascular access, the factors influencing the choice of catheters and devices used and their associated complications. Choosing the most appropriate site and type of vascular access must be specific to each child and to their treatment requirements. The use of care bundles as part of an evidence-based package of care is also discussed.
