The most comprehensive vascular access knowledge base for clinicians — evidence-based guides on PICC lines, CVCs, CLABSI prevention, complications, ultrasound, credentialing, and infusion therapy.
The complete clinical reference on peripheral IVs (PIVs): what they are, site selection, care and maintenance, flushing, dwell time, and peripheral IV complications — phlebitis, infiltration, extravasation, and occlusion.
The definitive clinical reference on vascular access — device spectrum, evidence-based selection, current clinical standards, complication overview, documentation, and quality metrics for clinicians.
Complete guide to building, measuring, and governing a vascular access team (VAT) program: models, evidence, ROI calculation, quality metrics, scope of practice, and program governance.
Clinical reference for vascular access in special populations: pediatric, NICU/neonatal, oncology, hemodialysis, critical care, geriatric, obese, and immunocompromised patients — device selection, technique modifications, and population-specific risks.
Complete guide to vascular access credentialing and certification: VA-BC, CRNI, PICC insertion competency, ultrasound credentialing, institutional privileging, and building a credentialing program.
Complete clinical reference on ultrasound-guided vascular access: evidence base, vascular anatomy, technique (short-axis vs long-axis), US-guided PIV, PICC, and CVC insertion, tip confirmation, and credentialing requirements.
The complete clinical reference on PICC lines: indications, ultrasound-guided insertion, CEVAD tip position standards, maintenance protocols, complications, and removal — evidence-based.
Complete clinical reference on infusion therapy safety: filtration standards, flushing and locking, vesicant administration, high-alert medications, PN access requirements, administration set management, and smart pump safety.
The complete evidence-based CLABSI prevention guide: CDC/NHSN definitions, insertion bundle, maintenance bundle, CHG bathing, antimicrobial strategies, surveillance, and Zero CLABSI implementation.
Complete clinical reference on central venous catheters: non-tunneled CVCs (IJ, subclavian, femoral), tunneled catheters (Hickman, Broviac, Groshong), implanted ports, dialysis catheters, and CVAD tip location standards.
