RN Adult Vascular Access

Registered Nurse Vascular Access Team

The Corewell Health (CH) West Helen Devos Childrens Hospital (HDVCH) Vascular Access Team (VAT) is a program of registered nurses specially trained in the ultrasound guidance insertion of vascular access devices. The team utilizes the Infusion Nurse's Society (INS), Michigan Appropriateness Guide to Intravenous Catheters (MAGIC), and mini-MAGIC for the pediatric population as evidence-based practice standards to determine the most appropriate access for each patient. The HDVCH VAT inserts bedside anatomical IVs and ultrasound guided peripheral IVs (PIV) for inpatients and outpatients at HDVCH. They are a dedicated resource within HDVCH for PIV insertions and an advocate for needle pain reduction and adherence to poke plans. Additionally, they round daily on central venous catheters to help reduce the incidence of infection, provide education, and serve as an expert level resource for all types of IV access.
