Overview:

Many patients receiving cancer treatment require a Central Venous Access Device (CVAD) to give chemotherapy, fluids and to draw blood.

The Central Vascular Access Program at The Ottawa Hospital is responsible for coordinating, inserting and maintaining central venous access devices including peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC’s), subcutaneously implanted devices (PORT’s).  We have insertion rooms at both the General and Civic Campuses of The Ottawa Hospital.
