totally implantable venous access devices (tivad) or implantable catheter ports are devices which can be implanted subcutaneously. they enable prolonged and repeated access to the vascular system, into the peritoneal cavity or intravertebral space. this device is particularly useful for repeated medical injection, for blood sampling or transfusion of blood and blood derivatives and for total pa...

PURPOSE to evaluate the effectiveness of a vein-viewing device on the success of venipunctures performed by staff nurses on a pediatric surgical unit. METHOD this prospective, non-randomized study examined pediatric inpatients from the age of newborn to 17 years requiring vascular access at a tertiary care center in northeast Florida. The number of attempts, age of the patient, and time requi...

OBJECTIVE To present results of a registry of a novel vascular access device. BACKGROUND Arterial access has been largely unchanged for 60 years. The Arstasis device creates a novel shallow-angle arterial access designed to facilitate hemostasis without use of a vascular closure device (VCD) or implantation of a foreign body for closure. This is the first publication to report the outcomes of...

BACKGROUND In confronting an evolving crisis, the anaesthetist should consider the vascular catheter as a potential cause, abandoning assumptions that the device has been satisfactorily placed and is functioning correctly. OBJECTIVES To examine the role of a previously described core algorithm "COVER ABCD-A SWIFT CHECK", supplemented by a specific sub-algorithm for vascular access problems, i...

BACKGROUND There are many factors that can affect dialysis adequacy; such as the type of vascular access, filter type, device used, and the dose, and rout of erythropoietin stimulation agents (ESA) used. The aim of this study was investigating factors affecting Hemodialysis adequacy in cohort of Iranian patient with end stage renal disease (ESRD). METHODS This is a cross-sectional study condu...

In patients (pts) with ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) undergoing catheter ablation (CA), the need for multiple vascular access points large bore sheaths predisposes to complications. Whether arterial/venous closure devices prevent complications is unknown. We investigated benefit of in pts CA VAs. Consecutive VAs between 2018-2020 were included. Vascular accesses obtained ultrasound guidance. At...
