When ultrasound-guided catheterization is useless: back to landmarks!
A study by Maizel and colleagues [1] in a recent issue of Critical Care shows that a resident skilled at inserting a central venous catheter (CVC) via the ultrasound-guided (UG) technique may face difficulties inserting a CVC via the anatomical landmark (LM) technique. Because several studies have demonstrated significantly increased safety, effectiveness, and efficiency of UG vascular access, ...
متن کاملResidents learning ultrasound-guided catheterization are not sufficiently skilled to use landmarks
INTRODUCTION Ultrasound-guided (UG) technique is the recommended procedure for central venous catheterization (CVC). However, as ultrasound may not be available in emergency situations, guidelines also propose that physicians remain skilled in landmark (LM) placement. We conducted this prospective observational study to determine the learning curve of the LM technique in residents only learning...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided central venous catheterization: what is the evidence?
In recent years, international health quality assurance organizations have been recommending ultrasound guidance for central venous punctures. This article reviews the evidence behind these recommendations. The MEDLINE, PubMed and SCIELO databases were searched for the following MeSH terms: central venous access, ultrasonography, and adults. The search was conducted on September 24, 2010, and s...
متن کاملWhen Power Adaptation is Useless or Harmful
We consider the design of optimal strategies for joint power adaptation, rate adaptation and scheduling in a multi-hop wireless network. Most existing strategies for ad-hoc networks control either power and scheduling, or rates and scheduling, but not the three together as we do. We assume the underlying physical layer allows finegrained rate adaptation (like in 802.11a/g, HDR/CDMA, UWB). Our g...
متن کاملUltrasound-Guided Cannulation: Time to Bring Subclavian Central Lines Back.
Despite multiple advantages, subclavian vein (SCV) cannulation via the traditional landmark approach has become less used in comparison to ultrasound (US) guided internal jugular catheterization due to a higher rate of mechanical complications. A growing body of evidence indicates that SCV catheterization with real-time US guidance can be accomplished safely and efficiently. While several cannu...
