The Central Venous Catheter is an intravascular device, the distal end of which is located close to or inside the right atrium, and can also be inserted into large-caliber vessels and aims to enable continuous or intermittent venous infusion, administration of blood components and blood products, nutrition parenteral, among others. This study aims to describe the role of nurses in the management of care and management of adverse events associated with the central venous catheter. It is a bibliographic review of the literature, whose articles were filtered in the Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), PubMed, Nursing Database (BDENF) and Academic Google. The study highlighted the importance of managing risks inherent to catheterization, from insertion to removal. Bloodstream infection has become prominent as one of the main events. The need to use bundles was also highlighted, emphasizing the importance of a safety culture. Therefore, it is concluded that nurses have an essential role in the prevention and control of infections, as they directly assist patients, manipulate and control devices, connections and medications. The use of bundles are effective in reducing infection rates.
