Best Practice Guidelines
Central venous catheters (CVCs) are integral to infants and children requiring intermittent or continuous therapy. In many health care settings, young patients require a reliable CVC for safe delivery infusion therapy.1-4 In the past decade, smaller and diverse catheter sizes have emerged to support monitoring and infusion of medications and solutions. Choosing the appropriate device, along with providing meticulous care by competent personnel, is essential for optimizing patient cutcomes with a CVC.5-7 These guidelines specifically address the unique needs of the pediatric patient and result from analysis by a working group of pediatric clinicians, who evaluated the published evidence and developed successful strategies for CVC care and management.
Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice
These are exciting times in the fi eld of infusion practice. Never before has there been as much interest, technology, evidence, or cross-disciplinary collaboration in the fi eld as there is today. Whether it’s research that informs the safety of a particular vascular access device, guidance for when a device may be appropriate for use, or in-depth reviews of how best to prevent complications—the knowledge, data, and wisdom in our specialty are brimming. For infusion and vascular clinicians all over the world, there has never been a better moment to be on the front lines of patient care.
Central venous access devices in pediatric malignancies:
a position paper of Italian Association of Pediatric
Hematology and Oncology
Treatment of pediatric malignancies is becoming progressively more complex, implying the adoption of multimodal therapies. A reliable, long-lasting venous access represents one of the critical requirements for the success of those treatments. Recent technical innovations—such as minimally invasive procedures for placement, new devices and novel materials—have rapidly spread for clinical use in adult patients, but are still Consensus-AIEOPnot consistently used in the pediatric population.
