PY - 2011 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e 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 during a life-threatening illness in a child is difficult and often consumes precious time. An organized approach to vascular access can minimize this potentially life-threatening delay in treatment. This section discusses the priorities in vascular access during emergent, urgent, and stable situations. This chapter reviews various techniques for achieving vascular access and covers the relative indications and potential complications.
