New publication from our colleagues at GAVeCeLT (Gli Accessi Venosi Centrali a Lungo Termine) in Italy on (updated) 2024 recommendations for indication, implantation and management of devices for venous access.
📅 Vascular Access Specialty Day – October 5th
Today, we celebrate the critical role that Vascular Access Specialists play in the healthcare continuum! 🎉
Vascular access is a key aspect of patient care, involving the skilled insertion and maintenance of all devices, such as peripheral and central venous access devices. These professionals ensure the safe, efficient, and effective delivery of medications, fluids, and nutrition.
Their expertise excels in the following areas (plus more);
• Reduces the risk of complications like infections and device failures.
• Enhances patient comfort, safety and outcomes.
• Supports all healthcare teams in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings.
Let’s recognize their vital contributions to patient safety and quality care! 🌟 #VascularAccessSpecialtyDay #HealthcareHeroes #PatientCare
