Vascular Access Essentials for Bedside Nurses: A Practical Clinical Reference to Peripheral IVs, Midlines, PICCs, Central Lines, and Implanted Ports (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185677612)

Vascular access is one of the most common - and most consequential - skills a bedside nurse performs every shift, yet formal training rarely keeps pace with real-world complexity. Vascular Access Essentials for Bedside Nurses bridges that gap with a practical, no-nonsense guide written by a Board-Certified Vascular Access nurse with over 20 years of clinical experience and 500+ PICC insertions.

Covering peripheral IVs, midlines, PICCs, central lines, and implanted ports, this book walks nurses through device selection, insertion principles, complication prevention, and troubleshooting - the exact knowledge that separates confident, competent vascular access care from guesswork.

Whether you're a new grad building foundational skills, a med-surg or ICU nurse expanding your scope, or a vascular access specialist looking for a clear clinical reference, this book delivers real-world guidance you can apply on your very next shift.
