Ultrasound detection of guidewire position during central venous catheterization.
INTRODUCTION Ultrasound guidance decreases complications of central venous catheter (CVC) placement, but risks of arterial puncture and inadvertent arterial catheter placement exist. Ultrasound-assisted detection of guidewire position in the internal jugular vein could predict correct catheter position before dilation and catheter placement. METHODS Ultrasound examinations were performed in a...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided central venous catheterization: what is the evidence?
In recent years, international health quality assurance organizations have been recommending ultrasound guidance for central venous punctures. This article reviews the evidence behind these recommendations. The MEDLINE, PubMed and SCIELO databases were searched for the following MeSH terms: central venous access, ultrasonography, and adults. The search was conducted on September 24, 2010, and s...
متن کاملCentral Venous Catheterization: Are We Using Ultrasound Guidance?
OBJECTIVES To assess the self-reported frequency of use of ultrasound guidance for central venous catheterization by emergency medicine (EM) residents, describe residents' perceptions regarding the use of ultrasound guidance, and identify barriers to the use of ultrasound guidance. METHODS A longitudinal cross-sectional study was conducted at 5 academic institutions. A questionnaire on the us...
متن کاملCentral venous catheterization and fatal cardiac tamponade.
Cardiac tamponade is a poorly recognized complication of central venous catheterization associated with a high mortality. We present a case of fatal cardiac tamponade after intra- pericardial infusion of total parenteral nutrition in a patient who had two central venous catheters. We suggest that catheter tip position should always be confirmed before use of a catheter. Tamponade should be susp...
متن کاملHydrothorax after central venous catheterization.
Three patients are described who developed hydrothorax as a complication of central venous catheterization. Respiratory distress associated with physical signs of fluid in the chest should arouse suspicion that the venous catheter has perforated the wall of the vein.The complications of central venous catheterization are reviewed and three cases of hydrothorax are presented. Comments on the pre...
