DISCLAIMER: 
The My Vascular Access app is designed to provide information and assist decision-making. It is not intended to define a standard of care, and should not be construed as one, nor should it be interpreted as prescribing an exclusive course of management. Variations in practice will inevitably and appropriately occur when clinicians take into account the needs of individual patients, available resources, and limitations unique to an institution or type of practice. The app recommendations are based on preoperative patient information.  Intraoperative findings may render that recommendation inappropriate.  Every health-care professional making use of these recommendations is responsible for evaluating the appropriateness of applying them in the setting of any particular clinical situation.  This app is not intended for patients who need hemodialysis catheter access or for pediatric vascular access procedure selection.
