Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Rapid establishment of vascular access is necessary for aggressive fluid resuscitation and administration of medications such as catecholamines, antibiotics, narcotics, and sedatives during emergencies. However, attaining vascular access in a child during a life-threatening illness is difficult and often consumes precious time. An organized approach to vascular access can minimize this potentially life-threatening delay in treatment. This chapter discusses the priorities in vascular access during emergent, urgent, and stable situations. It also reviews various techniques for achieving vascular access and covers the relative indications and potential complications.
