A vascular access device for infusion of fluids into a patient. The device includes an introducer sheath having one or more side holes and the sheath can be used with a catheter in place through the sheath, with a dilator in place through the sheath, or with the sheath vacant. The device provides for a significant volume of infused fluid to exit the side holes. The side holes allow for the infusion of fluids, such as medications, to be directed to specific patient locations rather than to have the entire volume of infused fluid exit the distal end of the sheath tube.
