Multi-User Care and Maintenance License

Strengthen the Everyday Care That Supports Vascular Access

Successful vascular access care extends well beyond insertion. The Multi-User Care and Maintenance License gives your team eight focused courses covering daily assessment, device care, catheter occlusions, complication management, and removal.

Provide nurses, educators, and vascular access clinicians with a shared foundation for caring for patients with vascular access devices. Use this learning pathway to support onboarding, reinforce established knowledge, and address education needs across the teams responsible for ongoing catheter care.

Eight Courses Focused on Assessment, Maintenance, and Complications

Care and Maintenance of VADs

Review essential aspects of PICC and central vascular access device care, including site assessment, flushing, dressing changes, blood sampling, occlusion management, and removal. This course provides a foundation for the more focused assessment and complication topics that follow.

PICC Site Assessment

Reinforce the importance of daily PICC site assessment. Explore assessment procedures, measurement criteria, and documentation considerations that support a consistent approach to evaluating the insertion site.

PIV355 Safe IV Patient Care

Connect everyday care activities with infection prevention and complication awareness. Review cleansing practices, daily insertion-site assessment, and catheter flushing fundamentals.

Management of Thrombotic Catheter Occlusions

Examine the causes, signs, symptoms, and treatment protocols associated with thrombotic occlusions. The course also explores strategies for preventing thrombotic occlusions in central venous catheters.

Management of Non-Thrombotic Catheter Occlusions

Explore catheter occlusions unrelated to blood or thrombus formation. Review causes, signs, symptoms, and management considerations involving mechanical problems, catheter tip position, precipitates, and lipid buildup.

PIV315 Complications with Vascular Access Devices – Part 1

Build knowledge for identifying, managing, and preventing vascular access device complications. Use this course to reinforce complication awareness within your organization’s ongoing clinical education.

PIV320 Complications with Vascular Access Devices – Part 2

Continue the review of vascular access complications, expanding on recognition, management, and prevention concepts introduced in Part 1.

CVAD Catheter Removal

Review when and how a central venous access device is removed, including procedural considerations, potential complications, and approaches to preventing or addressing problems during removal.
