Introducing a series of interventions around central line insertion, including education, insertion bundle and process and outcome surveillance, can lead to a marked decline in the rate of central ...
Background. Insertion of central venous catheters (CVCs) has historically been a task limited to physicians. However, as the use of CVCs and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) has become ...
The use of peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICC lines) has reduced the mortality and morbidity of premature newborns. The usual sites of insertion are the veins in the upper arms but ...
The placement of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) routinely incorporates tip position confirmation using standard radiographs. In this study, we sought to determine whether real-time ...
Nurses can use an ultrasound-based system to confirm the placement of peripherally inserted central catheters faster and at less cost than traditional technology can, according to an Advisory Board ...
The management of many medical and surgical conditions often involves long-term infusion of intravenous fluids, broad-spectrum antibiotics, chemotherapeutic agents for cancer, critical care therapies, ...
Background: Central venous catheter (CVC) insertions are performed frequently by internal medicine residents. Complications, including arterial puncture and pneumothorax, decrease when operators use ...
Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Patients with severe thrombocytopenia who did not receive prophylactic transfusion before catheter placement had ...
Objective: To determine the influence of catheter site and type (single- vs triple-lumen) on infection rates associated with central venous catheterization. Design: Prospective observational study of ...
Washington State University and Mayo Clinic researchers have developed an electrochemical catheter hub that could someday help prevent deadly central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) ...
The ethanol-lock therapy, which is commonly used to treat central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections, was not the most effective at preventing infections among pediatric cancer patients, ...
A new device, called a "sonic flashlight," offers a more efficient method of ultrasound guidance to place catheters in patients that will be used for repeated doses of chemotherapy or other treatments ...
