Abstract Central vascular access device (CVAD) care for infants and children in home settings is challenging due to small catheter sizes, patient activity, and variation in care and maintenance practices. CVADs require detailed care to prevent complications and unnecessary line replacement. Guidelines that address CVAD care and maintenance for pediatric home-based patients do not exist. This article reviews evidence-based central venous catheter maintenance practices for pediatric home care patients.

The use of sutureless, adhesive securement devices in vascular access has become recommended as best practice, because they are a cost-effective, reliable solution. After a vascular access device has been inserted, catheter securement is one of the most important aspects of care and maintenance. The Grip-Lok® range offers secure, comfortable adhesive securement for all types of vascular access devices. The products use hypoallergenic medical adhesive, which reduces the risk of skin irritation and provides a reliable, adaptable alternative to suturing.
