When we administer infusion therapy, the first step is to insert an indwelling peripheral intravenous needle, which is probably the most common insertion in all settings. In the infusion therapy that 70-90% of hospitalized patients receive, 50% of patients with an indwelling peripheral intravenous needle (PIVC) have complications such as extravascular leakage, obstruction, infection, phlebitis...

We will hold a Research Meeting to share the latest knowledge and practices! In this meeting, we will introduce VHP (Vessel Health and Preservation) and ANTT (Aseptic Non-Touch Technique), which are essential to improve patients' QOL and ensure safety....

Presented here is a multi-method (qualitative and quantitative) study of the structure and function of Vascular Access Teams (VATs) and their impact on patient safety, conducted at multiple hospitals in Michigan, USA. In examining the reality and potential of nurse-led venous access teams...

The J-IVCARES Research Meeting was established as a platform to discuss research related to VADs (Vascular access devices: indwelling intravascular catheters).

PICC catheters are essential devices for patients with hematologic malignancies, but bloodstream infection is a serious complication. Today, we present an article that examines the effectiveness of antibiotic lock therapy in both catheter preservation and infection treatment. If you would like to read the rest of this article, please mail li...

Most emergency room visits are for patients who are not seen regularly or admitted to the hospital on a scheduled basis. In addition, patients are admitted to the hospital in life-threatening situations, and peripheral venous catheters are routinely inserted. Today, we will discuss the rate of peripheral venous catheter complications in patients presenting to the emergency department and the...

It has been recommended that boosting agents be administered through a central vein in both adults and children due to concerns about extravascular leakage and local tissue ischemia. However, in a time-sensitive condition such as septic shock, the time required to insert a central venous catheter can delay the initiation of boosting agents. Therefore, boosting...

Thank you for visiting the website of the Japan Intravascular Catheterization Research Society (JIVCARES). The JIVCARES is dedicated to the further development of research and education related to intravascular catheters. We are looking forward to your support and cooperation....
