“Pitfalls of Catheter Securement: How Do We Keep the Line In?”

Catheter dislodgement is a preventable complication that affects many vascular access devices and has secondary complications such as thrombosis and infection. Understanding the root cause of dislodgments will help clinicians prevent this complication. A review of the evidence will show dislodgement rates for sutures, adhesive, and subcutaneous securement modalities and what we can do to minimize this complication.
