With the growing number of patients indicated for the long-term venous access, the incidence of these patients in general practitioners' ambulances offices is also increasing. Therefore, the question more often arises as to how to treat with the catheter, whether it is possible to use it by a general practitioner and how to acutely solve the most common complications associated with venous access. In this review article, we present a description of the most commonly used vascular inputs accesses and their use, along with a recommended algorithm for solving the most common complications.

Keywords: veins, catheterization, peripheral, thrombosis, vascular diseases.
