A Missing Guide Wire After Placement of Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheter
BACKGROUND Central venous catheterization is a common tool used in critically ill patients to monitor central venous pressure and administer fluids and medications such as vasopressors. Here we present a case of a missing guide wire after placement of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), which was incidentally picked up by bedside ultrasound in the intensive care unit. CASE REPORT A ...
متن کاملUpper extremity deep vein thrombosis: a complication of an indwelling peripherally inserted central venous catheter
We report a case of peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC)-associated deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Ultrasound images and video of subclavian thrombus are presented. PICC line-associated DVT, particularly in cancer patients is not uncommon. Point-of-care Emergency Department ultrasound can readily diagnose this complication and device removal is not always necessary.
متن کاملIncidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections in neonates following removal of peripherally inserted central venous catheters.

Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) is an intravenous device whose distal end is located in the vena cava, becoming a central venous catheter; despite its benefits, can aggregate risk to the neonates. Aimed to characterize and analyze the PICC complications in neonates. An exploratory, descriptive, documentary and retrospective research with a quantitative approach; ethical principles...
متن کاملHeparin for clearance of peripherally inserted central venous catheter in newborns: an in vitro study
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of two concentrations of heparin to clear the lumen of in vitro clotted neonatal peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). METHODS This is an in vitro, experimental quantitative study of 76 neonatal 2.0Fr PICCs coagulated in vitro. The catheters were divided into two groups of 38 PICCs each. In both groups an infusion of low molecular weight heparin wa...
