Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Intravascular catheters are used for a wide range of therapies in pediatric patients, such as administering total parenteral nutrition and chemotherapy, providing reliable access for hemodynamic monitoring, blood drawing, and performing interventions such as hemodialysis. No longer limited to the acute care setting, intravascular catheters are also used in outpatient settings. For the purposes of discussing management, complication risks, and preventive strategies, these catheters can be subdivided into short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term devices based on planned duration of use. While there is overlap between catheter types used for given planned durations, it is generally accepted that nontunneled central venous catheters are used for short-term access, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are often used as intermediate-term catheters, and long-term catheters include tunneled catheters and implantable ports.
