AB  - Venous  access  is  a  key  component  of  the  treatment  strategies  that  patients  receive  upon  admission  to  the  hospital  or  other  health  care  facilities.  The  use  of  venous  access  has  expanded  to  outpatient  care  and  ambulatory  units.  As  a  result  of  the  general  trend  from  inpatient  to  outpatient  care  to  reduce  health  care  costs,  the  use  of  long-term  venous  access  has  increased  in  the  past  decades.  A  wide  variety  of  venous  accesses  are  available  ranging  from  minimally  invasive  (i.e.,  peripheral  lines)  to  more  invasive  and  complex  methods  (i.e.,  intraosseous  and  central  lines),  which  can  be  tunneled,  nontunneled,  or  implantable  devices.  Each  type  has  specific  indications,  contraindications,  and  risks  during  insertion  that  need  to  be  weighed  against  the  benefits  at  the  moment  of  choosing  vascular  access.1,2
