New eviQ central venous access device education and resources available

Abstract

Central venous access devices (CVADs) are a mainstay for many patients receiving mid-to-long-term intravenous therapy. Cancer Institute of NSW programs, eviQ and eviQ Education, provide free online cancer treatment protocols and resources for clinicians, patients and carers. In 2021, the complete suite of eviQ CVAD resources were updated via extensive consultation with vascular access experts and the evidence-based literature to reflect the latest evidence for CVAD management. Resources include eLearning modules, clinical procedures, complication management algorithms, assessment and documentation tools, quizzes, and patient education materials. We encourage readers to explore and promote eviQ and eviQ Education for CVADs and share these resources with nursing, interventional radiology, or medical colleagues caring for patients with a CVAD, as well as patients and carers.
