Health System Impact of Emergency Department-based Vascular Access Program in Patients with Difficult Intravenous Access
Background: Ultrasound guided (USG) peripheral intravenous (PIV) access is a vital use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) that decreases time to access, reduces need for more invasive access, preserves vasculature, and improves patient experience.Objectives: We describe the impact of an Emergency Department (ED) based vascular access program with
