Provision of intravenous treatment using central venous catheters (CVC) is a highly specialized area of nursing care requiring clinical

knowledge along with technical skills. Intravenous treatment is associated with complications, with infections being the most commonly

reported. The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intensely deals with preventing catheter infections. It issues guidelines

aimed at supporting the safety of patients and reducing the risk of infections.
