They can be categorized using various classifications; notably, based on the position of the catheter tip, they are distinguished into central venous catheters (CVCs) and peripheral venous catheters (PVCs). Depending on their length, PVCs can be further divided into long-cannula PVCs and short-cannula PVCs. Currently, these catheters are stabilized "in situ" using transparent semipermeable dressings with a high moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), which keep the insertion site visible. Considering the pediatric patient population, this type of stabilization is currently somewhat archaic, and accidental displacement of PVCs is frequently encountered, along with subsequent complications such as extravasation, occlusion, phlebitis, and local infe
