background: by increasing the survival of immature newborns, intravenous access methods, used to provide intravenous therapy, became more important. more attention has been recently paid on peripherally inserted central venous catheters in newborns, although it is yet unknown in iran. in this study, we tried to discover the barriers to spread the usage of peripherally inserted central venous ca...

conclusions the cannulation of the central vein in neonates and children in a skilled hand would be performed with great success rate and low complications. results there were 1340 newborn patients (first 28 days of life) in our study population. in these newborns, only 55 cannulations failed; one patient was complicated with pneumothorax; guide wires malfunctioned in 21 cases; and first- attem...

Central venous catheterisation was first performed in 1929when Werner Frossman, a German doctor, inserted a ureteric catheter into his antecubital vein. He then walked to the radiography department so that the catheter could be guided into his right ventricle using fluoroscopy. Since then, central venous access has become amainstay of modern clinical practice. An estimated 200 000 central venou...

background: central venous catheters (cvcs) have been used widely in clinics. these catheters are also recommended for children and infants receiving chemotherapy and total parenteral nutrition (tpn) and etc. in this paper, we present migrated fractured control line of the heart of a girl. case presentation: a 2.5 year old girl with migrated of the fractured central line into the heart. in the ...

introduction: the correlation of central venous pressure (cvp) with inferior vena cava (ivc) sonographic diameter has been reported in several studies. however, few studies have attempted to find the best anatomic location of measurement. therefore, the purpose of this study was determining the best anatomic location to find precise correlation between cvp and ivc diameter using transesophageal...

Central vascular access is sometimes required for hemodynamic monitoring and infusion of fluids and medications in the pediatric emergency department. In many cases, it is attempted after failed peripheral venous and intraosseous access. Some evidence exists demonstrating benefits of ultrasound (US)-guided central vascular cannulation in adults in emergency departments. With appropriate educati...

There is a lack of standard minimal requirements for the training of insertion techniques and maintenance of central venous access devices (CVADs). An international evidence-based consensus task force was established through the World Congress of Vascular Access (WoCoVA) to provide definitions and recommendations for training and insertion of CVADs. Medical literature published from February 19...

BACKGROUND Venous access is crucial in intestinal transplantation, but a thrombosed venous system may prevent the use of central veins of the upper body. The incidence of venous thrombosis and the necessity to perform alternative vascular access (AVA) in intestinal transplant recipients have not been fully investigated. METHODS Records of adult patients who underwent intestinal transplantatio...

Catheter type, access technique, and the catheter position should be selected considering to the anticipated duration of PN aiming at the lowest complication risks (infectious and non-infectious). Long-term (>7-10 days) parenteral nutrition (PN) requires central venous access whereas for PN <3 weeks percutaneously inserted catheters and for PN >3 weeks subcutaneous tunnelled catheters or port s...
