Pulmonary vascular candidiasis and use of central venous catheters in neonates.

Table 1. Methodological Limitations: Comparison of 2 Studies Evaluating the Role of Removal of Central Venous Catheters in Patients With Candidemia and/or Invasive Candidiasis

Supraclavicular Approach to Ultrasound-Guided Brachiocephalic Vein Cannulation in Children and Neonates

The correct choice of intra vascular access in critically ill neonates should be individualized depending on the type and duration of therapy, gestational and chronological age, weight and/or size, diagnosis, clinical status, and venous system patency. Accordingly, there is an ongoing demand for optimization of catheterization. Recently, the use of ultrasound (US)-guided cannulation of the subc...

Survey of a Practical Approach to Central Venous Catheterization in Pediatric Patients

Background Central venous catheter (CVC) is used for measuring hemodynamic variables, transfusion of blood, fluids and medications when peripheral vascular lack sufficiency. Unfortunately CVC is associated with many complications ranging from anxiety and discomfort for the patient to severe mechanical side effects such as arterial lacerations, pleural and pericardial injury as well as infection...

بررسی ارتباط زمان ماندگاری کاتترهای وریدی محیطی در نوزادان و کودکان بستری با میزان بروز عوارض رگ‌گیری

Background & Aim: Peripherally intravenous catheters (PIVs) are an important part of therapy for hospitalized children. Although such catheters provide necessary vascular access, their use puts patients at risk for local and systemic infectious complications with serious morbidity. Migration of skin organisms at the insertion site into the coetaneous catheter tract with colonization of the cath...

Use of peripherally inserted central catheters as an alternative to central catheters in neurocritical care units.

BACKGROUND Patients in neurological critical care units often have lengthy stays that require extended vascular access and invasive hemodynamic monitoring. The traditional approach for these patients has relied heavily on central venous and pulmonary artery catheters. The aim of this study was to evaluate peripherally inserted central catheters as an alternative to central venous catheters in n...
