RaPeVA (Rapid Peripheral Vein Assessment) is a standard procedure for safely inserting a PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter). It involves systematically observing and evaluating the veins in both upper limbs using ultrasound to select the most suitable vessel and side (right or left). This helps prevent complications associated with PICC insertion, such as thrombosis, infection, and bleeding.

The Japanese Intravascular Catheterization Research Council of America (JIVCARES), an educational and research organization for catheter management, will hold a research meeting on November 29, 2012. We are planning to introduce the latest literature and educational lectures as well as research. We hope you will be able to join us...

Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion in children is considered technically difficult due to anatomical and psychological factors such as small vessel diameter, high subcutaneous fat content, and uncooperative attitude of the affected child. Although the effectiveness of echo-guided puncture has been established in the adult setting, the effectiveness in pediatric patients has not been adequately...

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....

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....

In this issue of 2022, we present a paper on prevention of catheter-related venous thrombosis after infant cardiac surgery. Central venous catheter (CVC)-related venous thrombosis after cardiac surgery in infants with congenital heart disease is considered a serious problem. Methods to prevent the risk of postoperative thrombosis are currently and...

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your continued understanding and support of the activities of our research group. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the more than 100 people who attended the 2nd Research Meeting held today. With your cooperation, we were able to hold a very meaningful meeting...

In Japan, midline catheters are gradually coming into use. The issue of how to differentiate the use of midline catheters from that of PICC catheters will become an issue for consideration in the future. In this article, we will discuss whether midline catheters or PICCs are better for outpatients receiving antimicrobial therapy. The research was conducted on...

Happy New Year! I look forward to working with you this year. I perform peripheral venous catheter placement using echo in my clinical practice. Sometimes I am asked (especially by management) how long does it take compared to the conventional method?
