Highlights Abstract Background: Central vascular access devices (CVADs) are essential for patient care in modern medicine. Providing to the central circulation, CVADs allow fluids and medications be infused rapidly hemodiluted. The placement of a CVAD requires knowledge devices, optimal site selection, infection prevention protocols, expert techniques limit potential adverse outcomes. Research ...

conclusions we think one of the influential factors for leading a guidewire and catheter into a nominated vein may be the left sided bevel of the needle at the time of internal jugular vein needle and catheter insertion. we were required to continue going towards the subclavian vein and accidentally turned into the left internal mammary vein. introduction central venous catheter placement is a ...

The short peripheral catheter (SPC) is the most common vascular access device used in the health care arena. That use is growing every year with approximately 330 million short peripheral catheters sold in the United States in 2012. The projected growth in the US population, along with an aging population and rising morbidity rates, will contribute to an increased need for vascular access devic...

a bstra ct   background: vascular access complications are a major cause of excessive morbidity and mortality in the dialysis population. moreover, there is not sufficient research regarding the factors correlated with vascular access complications among hemodialysis patients. this study aimed to evaluate the vascular access complications and their related factors such as nursing techniques and...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Devices to close a femoral arteriotomy are frequently used after catheterization for interventional radiology and cardiac procedures to decrease the time to hemostasis and ambulation and, potentially, to decrease local complications. The Mynx vascular closure device uses a sealant designed to occlude the access tract, resulting in hemostasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We re...

BACKGROUND Obtaining vascular access is difficult in certain patients. When routine peripheral venous catheterization is not possible, several alternatives may be considered, each with its own strengths and limitations. DISCUSSION We describe a novel technique for establishing vascular access in Emergency Department (ED) patients: the placement of a standard catheter-over-needle device into t...
