Hi Everyone, 

I'm conducting a quick poll for Critical Care Nurses use and education about Vas Caths. I'm sure we were all told in our career that they are for use by the Hemodialysis Nurses but as use of CRRT increases, so does patient risk of infection. I want to find out if adequate education is being done during Critical Care orientation, either through fellowships, new hires, or in competencies on this subject. I respectfully ask Hemodialysis Nurses not to participate as it is your specialty. Thanks for your time.
