Exhibitor Symposia

Selection of Vascular Access Devices: Where's the Patient & Clinician?

Sunday, September 16
7:00 AM - 8:30 AM
Location: Union Station Ballroom B

Meal

Multiple types of vascular access devices has led to selection confusion and a desire for direction for vascular access choice. Algorithms have been developed to assist with the decision process but fall short, often because decisions are made without consideration of the patient's needs and number of viable venous targets. Dr. Gregory Schears, co-director of the Congenital Heart Unit and Professor of Anesthesiology, will discuss limitations of the sole implementation of device selection models and how these models may lead to suboptimal device choice and patient care. It is important to be more comprehensive in our approach to device selection and put the patient first. This symposium will discuss encompassing a more inclusive approach to device selection.
