Multi-User Central Venous Access Device License

Strengthen Your Team’s Central Venous Access Knowledge

Support informed assessment, thoughtful device selection, and consistent approaches to central venous access care. The Multi-User Central Venous Access Device License brings together three focused courses covering advanced ultrasound assessment, daily CVAD assessment, and an introduction to mid-thigh femoral central venous catheters.

Give your vascular access clinicians, nursing teams, and educators a shared educational foundation for evaluating access options and assessing devices throughout their use. This focused learning pathway can complement your organization’s clinical orientation, ongoing professional development, and competency programs.

Three Courses Supporting Key Clinical Decisions

Advanced Ultrasound Assessment

Help experienced clinicians take their ultrasound assessment knowledge further. Designed for clinicians already familiar with ultrasound-guided PICC placement, this course explores scanning techniques and assessment considerations that inform vein selection and vascular access planning.

• Ultrasound controls, probe handling, and scan preparation
• Performing a comprehensive ultrasound assessment
• Characteristics of thrombosis and vein selection criteria
• The relationship between assessment findings and insertion planning
• Risk-benefit considerations and preservation of vascular access
• Best practice guidelines and scope of practice

CVAD Daily Assessment

Reinforce the importance of ongoing assessment throughout the life of a central venous access device. This course helps clinicians review continued device need, assess function, and recognize concerns that require further evaluation or intervention.

• Evaluating the ongoing need for a central venous access device
• Key elements of daily device assessment
• Dressing and securement considerations
• Recognizing and troubleshooting functional problems
• Considerations for catheter removal

Introduction to Mid-thigh Femoral Central Venous Catheters

Introduce your team to the clinical considerations surrounding mid-thigh femoral central venous access. Through visuals, video, and detailed educational content, this course explores the anatomy, patient selection, and procedural concepts associated with this access option.

• Relevant anatomy and distinctions between femoral access locations
• Indications and patient selection considerations
• An overview of insertion procedures
• Tip positioning and warning signs of malposition
• Considerations for introducing this access option into acute care practice

A Focused Education Resource for Your Organization

• Build a shared knowledge base: Give team members consistent educational content on assessment and central venous access care.
• Support clinical judgment: Reinforce the relationship between assessment findings, patient needs, and vascular access decisions.
• Extend professional development: Provide experienced clinicians with opportunities to explore advanced assessment and additional access options.
• Support educators and preceptors: Incorporate focused coursework into your organization’s existing training and supervised competency-validation activities.

Who This License Is Designed For

• Hospital and healthcare organizations supporting CVAD education
• Vascular access teams and PICC clinicians
• Infusion nurses and clinicians caring for patients with CVADs
• Acute care and critical care nursing teams
• Nursing educators, clinical preceptors, and professional development leaders
