Adverse events with vascular access devices are largely avoidable as evidenced in research and guidelines. The value of vascular access specialist teams for insertion and management of peripheral, central, and arterial catheters is not supported by randomized controlled trials. However, other research methodologies and designs support the premise that vascular access teams perform clinical procedures with the lowest rates of complications. This results suggest improved patient outcomes for these high risk procedures. Understanding the evidence, the key stakeholders required to create an action plan to establish, maintain a vascular access team for better clinical outcomes are examined.
