Percutaneous catheterisation of the radial artery in newborn babies using transillumination.
A technique for inserting radial artery catheters percutaneously in newborn babies using transillumination is described. Catheterisation was successful in 69% of the 107 babies in whom it was attempted. In the last 30 attempts there was an 85% success rate with an average useful life of 100 hours. The average weight of these babies was 1405 g, with a range of 620--4250 g. The method has several...
متن کاملRadial artery vasomotor function following transradial cardiac catheterisation
AIMS To determine the reproducibility of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and nitrate-mediated dilation (NMD) in the assessment of radial artery vasomotor function, and to examine the effect of transradial catheterisation on radial artery injury and recovery. METHODS Radial artery FMD and NMD were examined in 20 volunteers and 20 patients on four occasions (two visits at least 24 hours apart, wit...
متن کاملRadial artery angioplasty after perforation during diagnostic cardiac catheterisation.
The use of the radial artery as an access site for diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures has been extensively developed in recent years as a result of reduced complications at puncture site, reduced costs and the improvement in the patients' quality of life. The complications of trans-radial procedures are rarely major and very rarely life threatening--a key benefit of the radial app...
متن کاملSafe percutaneous suprapubic catheterisation
INTRODUCTION We describe our technique of percutaneous suprapubic catheter insertion with special reference to steps that help to avoid common complications of haematuria and catheter misplacement. METHODS The procedure is performed using a stainless steel reusable trocar under local infiltrative anaesthesia, usually at the bedside. After clinical confirmation of a full bladder, the trocar i...
متن کاملNear-fatal drug toxicities in newborn babies: A Case Series
Background: Neonates are highly vulnerable to drug toxicities because of their age-related limitations in drug metabolisms and renal excretion. Lack of the knowledge and/or education for medical professionals about the right dose administration and the lack of neonate-specific formulations are the additional dilemmas. Cases Presentation: Here, we reported six neonates presented with severe ...
