Intentional VAD Selection

Choose With the Whole Patient in Mind

Develop a structured approach to selecting a vascular access device. This course explores eight factors that bring treatment requirements, clinical assessment, available resources, and the patient's preferences into the decision.

Move beyond considering the device alone. By organizing the information that influences selection, you can build a more thoughtful foundation for discussions about access needs and preservation of the patient's vasculature.

• Prescribed therapy and anticipated duration
• Physical assessment, health history, and risk assessment
• Support systems and available resources
• Device availability and patient preference
