Abstract
Consider this scenario: an 8-month-old infant with osteomyelitis needs intravenous (IV) access for 3 weeks of antibiotics; what device will best ensure successful therapy and low risk of complications? Or consider this: a teenager with cystic fibrosis is hospitalized for the third time this year with an acute exacerbation. Despite multiple efforts by experienced clinicians, an IV catheter cannot be successfully placed in a peripheral vein. Frustrated, the nurse says, “Let’s just put in a peripherally inserted central catheter.” Is this the best choice for the patient?
