Abstract

Venous catheters have become essential devices in the management of hospitalized patients. Indeed, according to several studies, 60 to 70 % of hospitalized patients require venous access during their stay. However, there is a wide range of venous catheters, and it is important to understand their main differences and indications. The main factors to consider for the choice are the degree of urgency, the expected duration of catheter maintenance, the number of infusions to be administ red, and the toxicity of the medication to the vascular endothelium.

Les cathéters veineux sont devenus des dispositifs indispensables à la prise en charge des patients hospitalisés. En effet, selon plusieurs études, 60 à 70 % des patients hospitalisés nécessitent un accès veineux durant leur séjour. Cependant, il existe tout un panel de cathéters veineux dont il convient de connaître les principales différences ainsi que les indications. Les éléments importants à prendre en compte pour le choix sont le degré d’urgence, la durée prévisionnelle de maintien du cathéter, le nombre de perfusions à administrer et la toxicité du médicament pour l’endothélium vasculaire.
