Central Venous and Subcutaneous Therapy
Central venous therapy gives healthcare practitioners a wider range of options for initiating and maintaining intravenous (IV) therapy. Subcutaneous therapy is often used as an alternative to IV therapy. Depending on the patients situation and the medication or fluid being infused, subcutaneous therapy may be an effective, safe, and economical means of infusion.  Because subcutaneous therapy is commonly used in the home care setting, it is of paramount importance that patient and family education is thorough. In this course, you will review the anatomy and physiology of the central venous system, the selection of appropriate devices for central venous infusion therapy, and the procedure for monitoring central venous pressure. You will also survey the uses of both central venous and subcutaneous therapy, gain a sense of their advantages and disadvantages, and study possible therapeutic complications. (112 minutes)
