SANTOS, Albertina et al. CENTRAL VENOUS ACCESS OF PERIPHERAL INSERTION AND FULLY IMPLANTED - MANIPULATION AND OPTIMIZATION. Revista Onconews [online]. 2022, n.44, pp.6-11.  Epub June 29, 2022. ISSN 1646-7868.  https://doi.org/10.31877/on.2022.44.01.

Oncology treatments have been increasing, both in number and in complexity. The existence of a safe central vascular access suitable for the therapy to be performed is essential, promoting best practice in the care of cancer patients.

The fully implanted central venous catheter allows the safe administration of antineoplastic therapies with a low risk of complications and a positive impact on the quality of life of the person with oncological pathology. More recently, peripherally inserted central catheter, being less invasive, has demonstrated proven benefits for the patient and health care management. However, it still needs more publicity.

Although there are several international recommendations regarding the maintenance and optimization of central vascular access, doubts still persist in clinical practice. This fact motivated this bibliographic research to develop skills in this area of intervention.
