Abstract
Intravenous catheters are multiple and essential for daily practice. They are also responsible for high morbidity and mortality. Simple or echo-guided peripheral venous catheters, midlines, PICCline, tunneled or non-tunneled central venous catheters, and implantable venous access device are currently at our disposal. Thus, catheter selection, duration and indications for use, and prevention and treatment of complications vary according to the situation. The objective of this update is to provide the clinician with an overview of knowledge and rules of good practice on the use of catheters.
