CONCLUSIÓN
La realización de un acceso vascular es una habilidad esen-
cial que requiere de conocimiento anatómico y habilidades
prácticas. Es esencial el reconocimiento y manejo de las
complicaciones. El uso cada vez más frecuente de ultraso-
nido, electrocardiograma, equipo de rayos-x, y el mejora-
miento del diseño de los dispositivos, en general, permite
que los procedimientos sean más seguros y exitosos. Muchos
pacientes actualmente se benefician del uso temprano de
dispositivos de largo plazo.
