Description
Specialty catheters are a high-yield area on the VA BC™ exam—and a critical part of vascular access practice. This 1-hour webinar provides a clear, structured review of midlines, tunneled catheters, implanted ports, dialysis and apheresis catheters, and other specialized devices. We will explore indications, contraindications, dwell expectations, and complication profiles, along with exam-style case examples to reinforce learning. The session begins with brief test-taking reminders and ends with a live Q&A segment to address your specific questions.
