The transurethral suprapubic endo-cystostomy (T-SPeC): a novel suprapubic catheter insertion device.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Current methods of suprapubic cystostomy (SPC) catheter insertion may be difficult for patients in poor health and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. These include a highly invasive open procedure, as well as the use of the percutaneous trocar punch methods, commonly associated with short-term SPC. We present the first human experience with the Transurethr...
متن کاملOverview of Hot Topics in Insertion Device Design
Emphasis in insertion devices (undulators and wigglers) is evolving. Conventional designs account for the majority of devices in use as synchrotron radiation (SR) or freeelectron laser (FEL) sources, but more is being demanded with each succeeding application. Totally passive field compensation, gap independence, and the perfecting of phase and spectral properties are areas of major interest. H...
متن کاملDesign of a mechanical clutch-based needle-insertion device.
Insertion of trocars, needles, and catheters into unintended tissues or tissue compartments results in hundreds of thousands of complications annually. Current methods for blood vessel cannulation or epidural, chest tube, and initial trocar placement often involve the blind pass of a needle through several layers of tissue and generally rely on distinguishable anatomic landmarks and a high degr...
متن کاملPredistention of the epidural space before catheter insertion reduces the incidence of intravascular epidural catheter insertion.
BACKGROUND Accidental cannulation of an epidural vein is a common complication associated with epidural anesthesia or analgesia. On the basis of a pilot study and previous reports, we tested the hypothesis that predistention of the epidural space with saline before epidural catheterization would ease catheter insertion and decrease the incidence of this complication. METHODS Two-hundred-three...
متن کاملRare complication of a dialysis catheter insertion
Insertion of a dialysis catheter is a very common procedure in renal medicine, which is associated with one or more complications in ∼15% of patients. Central venous catheter vascular erosion is a rare but serious complication, the incidence appears to be between 0.4 and 1% which can be difficult to diagnose, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a persistent left-si...
