The different types of CVC are examined and the potential complications and nursing management are discussed in this article. Nurses are leading practice in this area, undertaking a holistic assessment of the patient before inserting a CVC that meets their specific medical and personal requirements. A thorough understanding of the use of CVCs, potential complications and patient issues is crucial for sensitive assessment and treatment.
