Take a break with some cocoa before your piercing.
This discussion is about arteries. Food & Function has revealed that cocoa is effective in relieving stress. Cocoa's function of suppressing reduced cerebral blood flow under stress is not merely a mood booster. It also physiologically prevents the failure of peripheral vasodilation... -
Efficacy of antimicrobial caps
Today, we're introducing a paper about antibacterial caps. The basic method for disinfecting catheters is the "hub scrub," which involves wiping the hub with an alcohol swab for 15 seconds. However, it's very difficult to consistently perform this perfectly in a busy clinical setting. A meta-analysis published in the European Journal of Internal Medicine in 2022... -
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?

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....
