CVC – Dressing the CVC

A central venous catheter is a medical device that is usually inserted into a central vein such as the subclavian, jugular or femoral veins.
The choice of access may depend on several factors, including the type of therapy that the patient has to undergo. The CVC is not only used in dialysis, but also in intensive care, chemotherapy and parenteral nutrition.
However, there are some issues related to the use of central venous catheters, the most frequent of which are certainly infections.
