Ultrasound-guided central venous access: a homemade phantom for simulation.

چکیده
Various medical specialty organizations and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) have advocated using ultrasonography to guide central venous cannulation. It is surprising then, that very few instructional models have been described to teach this technique. Consequently, we developed a model to teach ultrasound-guided central venous access. This paper presents a recipe for an ultrasonographic model or “phantom” that is easily made, inexpensive and simulates vessel cannulation extremely well.

An easily assembled phantom for teaching ultrasound-guided vascular access.
To the Editor, Ultrasound-guided catheterization is an essential skill for central venous catheterization and difficult peripheral vascular access. Compared with landmark techniques, it is associated with higher rates of successful cannulation and fewer complications. Safe, effective use of ultrasound, however, requires operator skill. Trainees must develop the dexterity needed to manipulate th...
متن کاملComparison Between Open and Ultrasonography Guided Venous Access Ports in Children with Malignancy
Background: Long-term central venous access is used in children for various reasons specially for delivering chemotherapy. Since vessels in children have smaller diameters, they are more prone to injury and complications such as thrombosis. Different methods are used for implantation of port-a-cath in children. We aimed to compare the complications of insertion of central venous access ports be...
متن کاملA novel approach for US-guided central venous cannulation in phantom models: the oblique technique
Objective Ultrasound (US) guided central vascular access is an indispensable skill for physicians. Recently, a novel approach to vascular cannulation, the oblique technique, has been described. This technique combines the advantages of the traditional (short axis, SA, and long axis, LA) approaches, while purportedly avoiding their pitfalls. This claim has not been well studied. We aimed to comp...
متن کاملNeedle tip visualization during ultrasound-guided vascular access: short-axis vs long-axis approach.
OBJECTIVES Ultrasound guidance for central venous catheterization improves success rates and decreases complications when compared to the landmark technique. Prior research has demonstrated that arterial and/or posterior vein wall puncture still occurs despite real-time ultrasound guidance. The inability to maintain visualization of the needle tip may contribute to these complications. This stu...
