CVC insertion -
Below is an example of a CVC insertion checklist. The aim of a CVC checklist is to ensure that all processes related to CVC placement are executed each time a CVC is inserted, thereby leading to consistency in CVC insertion. This checklist includes a list of activities that are considered standard before, during, and after the procedure, as well as a safety checklist. The elements of the checklist and its implementation should be agreed in advance by all relevant HCW involved in inserting and caring for CVCs.
