Vascular access has become a key component for a multitude of IV therapies, including parenteral nutrition. Access of the central venous system has been long recognized for its associated complications of infection, thrombosis, and occlusion. Over the past 25 years, clinical practice based on research and innovation has attempted to decrease complication rates and therefore improve the safety of vascular access. This article highlights the research and its influence on catheter care procedures, technology, and education that has led to advances in vascular access. An improved understanding of the pathophysiology associated with catheter-related complications and an ongoing evaluation of new treatment modalities has provided clinicians today with new options for improved patient care and the ability to preserve vascular access options for patients.
