Aug 28, 2017 · The use of ultrasound (US) has been proposed to reduce the number of complications and to increase the safety and quality of central venous catheter (CVC) placement. In this review, we describe the rationale for the use of US during CVC placement, the basic principles of this technique, and the current evidence and existing guidelines for its use. In addition, we recommend a structured ...

Mar 7, 2005 · The paired t test (SPSS 11) indicated that the ITBVI was significantly overestimated by an average of 27% (P < 0.001) when the femoral CVC was used for the injectate. The CI was not affected by the site of the injectate and, in these preliminary results, there was only marginal overestimation of the ELWI (average 12%, P = 0.049) using the ...

Sep 30, 2023 · Background Out-of-plane (OOP) approach is frequently used for ultrasound-guided insertion of central venous catheter (CVC) owing to its simplicity but does not avoid mechanical complication. In-plane (IP) approach might improve safety of insertion; however, it is less easy to master. We assessed, a homemade needle guide device aimed to improve CVC insertion using IP approach. Method We ...

Mar 22, 2007 · Each one of those 41 patients had a CVC in two different locations, one placed in the internal jugular or subclavian veins, and a second in a femoral vein. Simultaneous measurements of CVP were undertaken by two different operators, with a pressure transducer zero referenced at the mid-chest.

May 25, 2010 · TPTD after injection of the thermo-bolus through a femoral CVC provides precise data on GEDVI with a high correlation but a self-evident significant bias related to the augmented TPTD-volume. After correction of GEDVIfem using a correction formula, GEDVIfem shows high predictive capabilities for GEDVIjug.

tate CVC placement in special clinical situations in which landmark techniques based on palpation of the arterial pulse are challenging or impossible (e.g., femoral CVC placement during cardiopulmonary resuscitation [12] or in patients with a nonpulsatile ventricular assist device). Ultrasound for central venous catheter placement:

Mar 28, 2003 · The choice of the best central venous access for a particular patient is based on the rate and the severity of failures and complications. Based on two recent papers, internal jugular access is associated with a low rate of severe mechanical complications in the intensive care unit as compared with subclavian access, and it is preferable for short-term access (<5–7 days) and for ...

Mar 20, 2012 · To gauge our current practice we performed a retrospective review of CVCs placed via the internal jugular or subclavian route in intensive care patients to assess where CVC tips were placed. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the chest radiographs of 197 consecutive intensive care patients admitted on and before 30 June 2011.

Mar 21, 2006 · The patients enrolled had central venous catheters (CVC) in two different locations, one placed in the internal jugular or subclavian veins and a second in a femoral vein. Simultaneous measurements of CVP were undertaken by two different operators, with a pressure transducer zero-referenced at the mid-chest.

Sep 28, 2005 · Introduction Central venous catheterization is commonly used in critically ill patients and may cause different complications, including infection. Although there are many studies about CVC-related infection, very few have analyzed it in detail. The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence of catheter-related local infection (CRLI) and catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI ...
