Common indications for placement of a central venous catheter (CVC) include hemodynamic monitoring, lack of peripheral venous access, administration of vasoactive agents, nutritional support, and long-term vascular access. Although traditionally performed by emergency and critical care physicians, anesthesiologists and surgeons, it has been shown that with proper training, this procedure can be safely performed by advanced practice practitioners such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants.1
