Abstract Central venous catheter insertion is a commonly performed procedure in the operating room and intensive care unit. It associated with many complications, some of which may be life-threatening. We report here an accidental hemodialysis into brachiocephalic trunk, was successfully removed by endovascular technique.

INTRODUCTION Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) associated with short-term central venous catheters (CVCs) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients are a major clinical problem. Bacterial colonization of the skin at the CVC insertion site is an important etiologic factor for CRBSI. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of medical-grade honey in reducing bacterial skin colo...

background and aims: nowadays miniscrews are widely used as skeletal anchorage in orthodontics. however the success rate of miniscrews is less than that of osseointegrated implants. the aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate factors influencing the success rate of orthodontic miniscrews. materials and methods: data of 244 miniscrews in 122 patients (99 females and 23 males, with a mean...

OBJECTIVE Despite the magnitude of the problem of catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CA-BSIs) in children, relatively little research has been performed to identify effective strategies to reduce these complications. In this study, we aimed to develop and evaluate effective catheter-care practices to reduce pediatric CA-BSIs. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Our study was a multi-institution...

In the practical conduct of Anaesthesia, Airway management is crucial to outcome & best patient care. A total n=114 patients,30-50 yrs with mean age 38.736± 4.36 years; 57 each group Laryngoscopy and ETT; LMA undergoing elective surgery 30 minutes 01-hour duration in controlled hypertensives were included study. The hemodynamic response was noted, recording pulse rate, Systolic BP, Diastoli...

INTRODUCTION Intrauterine device (IUD) is the most common reliable, effective and reversible contraceptive method used worldwide and in areas with high growth rate is of particular importance. IUD insertion is associated with high anxiety in most people that causes pain and discomfort. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of aromatherapy on anxiety and pain caused by IUD insertion...

Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) and catheter-related (CLABSI with a positive catheter tip culture, CRBSI) are preventable causes of morbidity mortality for severe adult burns patients. Routine central line changes as CLABSI prevention strategy in patients is controversial due to the paucity evidence guide appropriate timing changes. This study aimed address this gap by in...

In the intensive care setting, ultrasound guided venous cannulation has now become an essential procedure for critically ill patients, however it has risks inherent to its insertion as well as permanence. To reduce risks related to insertion, the applicability of ultrasonography to aid insertion of a central and peripheral venous catheter will be discussed. This is a technology available in our...
