Clinical experience using a small-gauge needle for arterial puncture.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study was undertaken to ascertain the feasibility of using a 25-gauge needle for arterial punctures. A total of 11,500 arterial punctures were performed over the past four years by this technique without any major complication. Repeated arterial punctures were well tolerated by all patients, and the necessity for indwelling arterial catheters was almost totally eliminated during this period of study.

Modified scalp vein needle for arterial puncture in infants.
Occasionally the need arises for selective femorocerebral catheter studies in infants, and the 21-gauge (G) Cournand needles required for this procedure are not always readi ly available. Instead, the 20-G 1.5-in. Potts-Cournand arterial needle (Fig. 18) that is provided with the commercially available 8-D White pediatric percutaneous catheterization set is used. We have found the White pediatr...
متن کاملPost-dural puncture headache: pathophysiology, prevention and treatment.
Post-dural puncture headache (PDPHA) has been a vexing problem for patients undergoing dural puncture for spinal anaesthesia, as a complication of epidural anaesthesia, and after diagnostic lumbar puncture since Bier reported the first case in 1898. This Chapter discusses the pathophysiology of low-pressure headache resulting from leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the subarachnoid to th...
متن کاملPostulated Mechanisms for Post Dural Puncture Headache: Clinical Experience and Review Of Laboratory Models
In the 1950's, the generally accepted theory for the development of post dural puncture headache (PDPH) was leakage of cerebrospinal fluid via the hole in the dura which led to the introduction of smaller sized needles for dural puncture. This has lowered but not eliminated the incidence of PDPH. The literature has virtually as many different statistics on the incidence of PDPH as there are aut...
متن کاملA Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effect of Needle Gauge on the Pain and Anxiety Experienced during Radial Arterial Puncture
BACKGROUND Arterial punctures for assessment of arterial blood-gases can be a painful procedure. Lidocaine can be used to reduce pain prior to needle insertion but it is not a widely accepted practice. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a large size needle induces more pain compared to a smaller size needle for radial arterial puncture and to assess the anxiety associated with r...
متن کاملSpinal anaesthesia for emergency caesarean section better using 25-gauge pencil point needle or 22-gauge cutting needle: a single centre prospective study
Objective: Less diameter needles may cause less side effect in lumbar anesthesia. However, some Chinese anesthesiologists consider that bigger needles are suitable for emergency surgery, because it can shorten the puncture period. Present study aimed to compare 25-gauge (G) pencil point needle with 22G cutting needle for emergency caesarean section. Methods: In this prospective study, 200 femal...
