Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Reichman's Emergency Medicine Procedures, 3e AB - Obtaining peripheral vascular access in the critically ill patient may be difficult and time consuming. The vascular collapse that may accompany severe dehydration or a cardiac arrest can be profound and delay administration of essential therapies. Pediatric patients present a challenge due to the small size of their peripheral veins and the increased subcutaneous tissue.
