    Abstract
    As the population ages, hospital patients are sicker and have more comorbidities. Too often, their vasculature is not ideal, especially if they have had multiple previous cannulations and insertion attempts. Furthermore, older and frail skin poses a challenge for dressing and securement. For this reason, it is more important than ever to choose wisely when making vascular access decisions, to ensure that whenever possible the first device is the best device.As the population ages, hospital patients are sicker and have more comorbidities.
