This best practice guideline focuses on assisting all nurses in diverse practice settings, both institutional and community, who provide care to clients requiring vascular access. This guideline incorporates best practices related to the care and maintenance of vascular access devices applicable to all adult clients requiring this kind of care. It should be noted that the main focus of this guideline is the care and maintenance of central venous access devices (CVAD); however, where care and maintenance strategies can be used for both CVAD and peripheral venous access devices (PVAD), this has been articulated in the specific recommendations.
