Description
Emergency medicine has historically argued that the only thing that matters is that “it’s an emergency.” Very few conditions require truly emergent vascular access. This session looks at the evidence around emergency vascular access and sets out a paradigm to determine the best access for an ED patient. Providers should be aware of these considerations to obtain optimal vascular access for the patient and improve healthcare system outcomes.
