Care and Maintenance of Peripheral and Midline Catheters

Course overview

This course has been designed to provide basic conceptual and operational knowledge to healthcare clinicians caring for those who have peripheral and midline catheters. As the science of infusion therapy advances and technology expands, it is imperative that all healthcare clinicians and nurses practicing infusion therapy remain current in their knowledge of infusion therapies, principles, techniques, equipment, and the latest in infusion evidence-based practices. This course is based on the current best practices as defined by the Infusion Nursing Society and other governing agencies such as the CDC, and FDA. Pedagogy has developed infusion skill check-off lists for all infusion related procedures for demonstration of skills and these are available in the course, for print out, and completion with a preceptor.
