Key Words	The placement and care of central venous access devices (CVADs) are key elements of management for either adult or pediatric critically ill patients. Healthcare professionals are commonly worried about complications related to the employ of a CVAD due to increasing costs; hospitalization; and mortality. The rate of catheter-related complications is often related to an out-of-date decision-making of healthcare professionals who manage the CVAD. This review may be useful for guiding healthcare professionals to choose the right device; placement technique; and care of CVADs with the aim of reducing the possibility of complications in critically ill patients.
