Abstract

Chemotherapy for cancer patients often requires a central venous catheter the insertion of which has previously been the exclusive remit of medics. As the shortage of doctors worsens, waiting times for catheter placement have increased. The implementation of the 'Transfer of competence: nurse-led central venous catheter insertion' cooperation protocol in 2016, in the Paris hospital trust (AP-HP), has enabled these waiting times to be reduced without any increase in the frequency of complications or effects on the safety of the procedure.

Keywords: cancérologie; central venous catheter; cooperation protocol; delegation; délégation; infirmier; nurse; oncology; protocole de coopération; voie veineuse centrale.
