What type of catheter should be used and what indicators influence the choice?
Consensus was not reached for which indicators had an impact on the decision of inserting a CVAD, due to a lack of evidence and stakeholders. It was determined that, in the lack of evidence, other considerations would be needed to come to a consensus that are practical and clinical that may dictate if a CVAD be used; such as the attending physicians’ and the patients’ preference, operating room time, cost, expert availability and resources to support the CVAD.
