Venous Access Options
Venous access means creating a pathway to the blood stream. When you need factor or other medications, there has to be a way to get it into the blood. This is usually done by putting a needle into a vein.
There are different types of venous access, each with advantages and disadvantages. In this section, you’ll find basic information about the different Types of Venous Access, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and a framework for Making the Right Choice with your healthcare professional.
It is important to remember that choosing a venous access option is not a one-time decision – you may move from one type to another as physical and lifestyle situations change. That’s why there’s also a section about Transitions — how you can make the change from one venous access option to another smoothly and successfully.
