Cost comparison of midline catheters (France)
In recent years, not only safety and complications, but also "cost" has become increasingly important in the selection of vascular access devices (VADs). The midline catheter, in particular, is gaining recognition for its usefulness, but its introduction has been hampered by the high cost... -
Echocardiography in the Peripheral Route: Making the Evidence Permeate
Recently in Japan, there have been an increasing number of reports not only on the development of evidence, but also on "implementation studies" on how to make evidence take root in the field. In this issue, we introduce such an Australian implementation study on securing venous routes. If you would like to read the rest of this... -
Is the port insertion in the upper arm or the endocervical?
The topic of this paper is whether to insert the port through the upper arm or through the internal neck/subclavian. I personally chose the brachial port at my previous institution for safety reasons, but there were certainly times when the vessel diameter was too small or the meander was stronger than expected, making insertion difficult. Chemo... -
What is the feasibility of the guidelines? Verification by the Delphi Method
This paper is about the feasibility of having so-called "guidelines" in place? The interesting point is that not only practitioners but also patients were surveyed. It is interesting to note that not only practitioners but also patients were surveyed. I hope that you will also think "The guideline says this, but in reality it is impossible! I am not sure if it is possible... -
A-line to conventional radial artery? Or to the distal radial artery?
For indwelling arterial catheters (A-lines) in ICU patients, distal radial artery (dRA) had similar success and safety rates for puncture and placement compared to conventional radial artery (cRA). On the other hand, dRA had a lower arterial pressure waveform extinction during the management period.... -
Complication study of norepinephrine administration from a midline catheter: a single-center retrospective study
This is a report from a Swedish Intermediate medical care unit :IMCU, a unit that is not common in Japan, but temporary peripheral intravenous administration of norepinephrine (NE) in emergency situations is also suggested in the World Guidelines for Sepsis Care (SSCG). On the other hand, the midra... -
Subcutaneous nitroglycerin prevents pediatric radial artery occlusion: an RCT
In this issue, we present a randomized, double-blind trial of subcutaneous nitroglycerin for prevention of occlusion during radial artery line removal in infants. A simple intervention performed before puncture and extraction suggests improved peripheral perfusion and is worth considering as a candidate for standard procedure in the PICU and operating room.... -
