Analysis of radial artery catheter placement by respiratory therapists using ultrasound guidance.
BACKGROUND The use of ultrasound (US) guidance for radial artery cannulation has been shown to improve first attempt success rate, reduce time to successful cannulation, and reduce complications. We sought to determine whether properly trained respiratory therapists (RTs) could utilize US guidance for the placement of radial artery catheters. Primary outcome measurements were successful cannula...
متن کاملUnusual complication of radial artery cannulation.
Currently, radial artery cannulation is the preferred method for continuous hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill patients. Reported complications of radial artery cannulation include infection, digital gangrene, thrombosis, pseudoaneurysm, skin necrosis and median nerve palsy. Radial artery catheter fracture is a very rare complication. A review of the English language literature revealed o...
متن کاملManagement of an iatrogenic radial artery perforation: a case report.
A 73-year-old female patient underwent transradial coronary angiography with stable angina and signs of significant myocardial ischemia revealed by exercise stress test. After insertion of a 6F radial sheath into the right radial artery and intra-arterial administration of heparin plus verapamil, the hydrophilic guidewire could not be advanced under fluoroscopic guidance. Immediately afterwards...
متن کاملUse Of A Unique Long Pre-curved Sheath To Facilitate Femoral Placement Of Coronary Sinus Catheters
METHODS Catheterization of the coronary sinus (CS) from the femoral vein is widely used during electrophysiologic procedures. Access to the CS may be difficult. To address this problem we explored the utility of a long pre-formed (SAFL) sheath in a cohort of consecutive patients requiring CS cannulation in the electrophysiology laboratory. This unique sheath has distal curvatures in 2 planes, p...
متن کاملIdiopathic radial artery aneurysm in the anatomical snuff box.
An otherwise fit and well 40-year-old left-handed male computer operator presented with a minimally symptomatic lump of 2 years duration in his non-dominant anatomical snuffbox. There was no history of trauma. This was pulsatile and did not transilluminate despite being referred as a ganglion. MRI scan confirmed the presence of a 1.5 cm radial artery aneurysm fed by the radial artery and draini...
