Central Venous Access

Definition

Central venous access is a medical procedure used to provide access to a patient’s veins for the purpose of administering medications, fluids, and other treatments. This type of access is especially useful for patients who require long-term treatments or those with difficult-to-access veins. Central venous access can be achieved through a variety of methods, including catheters, ports, and implants.
