| Popis: | This article presents three case studies, each discussing securement issues as they relate to the use of long-term vascular access devices from the perspectives of the clinician and the patient. The choice of securement should be weighed against the patient's activity level, duration of the line placement, infection risks and inevitable skin irritation caused by repeated replacement of adhesive securement. Living with a chronic illness requiring frequent infusions is difficult enough—worrying about the device being dislodged should not be an additional stressor. |
