چکیده
Needle visualization is important for safe and successful ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block. Howev accurate and consistent visualization of the needle tip can be difficult to achieve. This review article desc many of the challenges affecting needle visualization, summarizes the relevant literature on ultrasound imag of needles, and offers practical strategies for improving needle tip visibility. Finally, future directions for rese and development are suggested. Reg Anesth Pain Med 2008;33:532-544.

Randomized, prospective, observational simulation study comparing residents' needle-guided vs free-hand ultrasound techniques for central venous catheter access.
BACKGROUND Short-axis ultrasound-guided placement of central venous catheters (CVCs) is widely accepted as safe practice. However, utilizing the long-axis approach could further improve safety, as it allows for better visualization of the needle as it is advanced to the target vessel. However, the long-axis approach has not widely been used due to the technical difficulty. Recently, a new needl...
متن کاملEfficacy of three different valve systems of needle-free closed connectors in avoiding access of microorganisms to endovascular catheters after incorrect handling.
OBJECTIVE Disinfectable needle-free closed connectors were designed to avoid needle-stick injuries and to be easily disinfected before handling. Workloads or lack of knowledge, however, could impede the correct handling of these devices, allowing endoluminal catheter colonization. The aim of our study was to assess the barrier effect of different disinfectable needle-free closed connectors duri...
متن کاملAn Injectable Glass Polyalkenoate Cement Engineered for Fracture Fixation and Stabilization
Glass polyalkenoate cements (GPCs) have potential as bio-adhesives due to their ease of application, appropriate mechanical properties, radiopacity and chemical adhesion to bone. Aluminium (Al)-free GPCs have been discussed in the literature, but have proven difficult to balance injectability with mechanical integrity. For example, zinc-based, Al-free GPCs reported compressive strengths of 63 M...

technique of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided pseudocyst drainage as a one-step procedure using a novel multiple wire insertion technique facilitated by the double-lumen biliary cytology brush catheter (Cook Medical, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA). Six symptomatic patients underwent EUS-guided pseudocyst drainage using the novel multiple wire insertion technique (●" Video 1). After ensur...
متن کاملTowards a realistic in vitro experience of epidural Tuohy needle insertion.
The amount of pressure exerted on the syringe and the depth of needle insertion are the two key factors for successfully carrying out epidural procedure. The force feedback from the syringe plunger is helpful in judging the loss of pressure, and the depth of the needle insertion is crucial in identifying when the needle is precisely placed in the epidural space. This article presents the develo...
