Question 10

Which access site is associated with the highest risk of infection

Answer 10

Question 11

Collateral veins:

Answer 11

enlarge in the setting of neighboring larger vein stenosis and thrombosis

Question 12

Question 14

Which vein can be more commonly used in neonate/children for access device

Answer 14

GSV

Question 15

Which is not a potential complication of central vascular access device placement

Answer 15

celiac artery injury
