Teaching central line placement: no clear window
We appreciate Maizel and colleagues addressing the teaching of ultrasound-guided central line placement to medical residents [1]; however, we have several comments. We feel that the success rates reported in this study are artificially high since most residents in 2014 are training with the use of ultrasound, and it is highly unlikely that the initial procedures being done by these senior resid...
متن کاملTeaching Ultrasound Imaging for Central Line Placement—A Resident’s Perspective
The availability of ultrasound (US) devices has refined techniques for vascular access. The resident trainee’s ability to learn US techniques depends upon device availability, skills, and motivation of instructors. We hypothesized that hands-on teaching program of US techniques for vascular access would have a positive impact on the trainee’s perceptions. After IRB approval, PGY3 anesthesiology...
متن کاملLeech therapy and infection control: No clear window
Sir, The ingenious article by Rastogi and Chaudhari was indeed interesting. [1] Hirudo medicinalis (medical leech) has been used in ancient medicine for various ailments. In recent years, leeches have been making a remarkable re‑emergence in medical practice, especially in reconstructive microsurgery to relieve venous congestion and to improve the microrevascularization of flaps, grafts, or rep...
متن کاملSudden apnea following attempted central line placement.
FIGURE 2. Optical micrograph shows remarkable improvement in vacuolar degeneration of myocardial fibers after administration of growth hormone (hematoxylmn-eosin, x 250). voltages, and two-dimensional echocardiography showed enhancement of LV end-diastolic diameter and a decrease in myocardial contractility and mass (Table 2). At present, Gil has been restored. Our data suggest that GH-sensitiv...
متن کاملThe accuracy of electrocardiogram-controlled central line placement.
BACKGROUND Electrocardiogram (ECG) guidance to confirm accurate positioning of central venous catheters (CVC), placed before surgery in the operating room, is rarely used in the United States. We designed this randomized, controlled trial to investigate whether the use of this technique impacts the accuracy of CVC placement. METHODS Patients in group ECG (n = 147) had a CVC placed using right...
