D-TEAM Update

PEDIATRIC AND NEONATAL TOPICS SET FOR 2021 AVA SCIENTIFIC MEETING

As we define this new normal, the D-TEAM, which is responsible for planning the annual AVA Scientific Meeting (AVASM), is incredibly excited to plan a safe and engaging in-person meeting! The AVASM content will highlight all of the innovative advancements stemming from the clinical expertise of our fellow pediatric/neonatal vascular access colleagues. New to AVASM are Think Tanks, which are 90-minute sessions showcasing two to four presentations with similar thematic content. Incorporated pediatric and neonatal topics include: tissue adhesives, Blood Cultures: Myth vs. Fact, vascular access in the neonatal population, and; experiences and outcomes associated with vascular access teams.

Additional topics of interest are comprised of difficult intravenous access algorithms, clinical outcomes associated with miniMAGIC, an examination of atypical tip position of central lines on X-Rays, and catheter removal versus salvage in the presence of infection specific to chronic intestinal failure patients. Recognizing the AVA networks have spent the past year largely limited to virtual interaction, we embrace this opportunity to be together once again in September!
