AB  - Venous  access  for  medication  administration,  nutritional  support,  hemodialysis,  and  blood  sampling  is  essential  for  the  management  of  many  chronic  diseases.  A  variety  of  indwelling  central  venous  access  devices  have  been  developed  to  avoid  repeated  venipunctures  and  permit  direct  access  to  the  central  circulation.  These  devices  may  be  partially  or  completely  implanted  under  the  patient's  skin.  The  Emergency  Physician  must  be  able  to  access  these  devices  to  administer  medications  and  withdraw  blood  samples  without  damaging  the  device  or  causing  it  to  clot  off.  The  necessary  procedures  for  successfully  accessing  indwelling  central  venous  lines  are  described  in  this  chapter.
