Percutaneous catheterisation of the radial artery in newborn babies using transillumination.
نویسنده
چکیده
A technique for inserting radial artery catheters percutaneously in newborn babies using transillumination is described. Catheterisation was successful in 69% of the 107 babies in whom it was attempted. In the last 30 attempts there was an 85% success rate with an average useful life of 100 hours. The average weight of these babies was 1405 g, with a range of 620--4250 g. The method has several advantages over previous methods.

Use of transillumination technique is not limited to venous cannulation only!
I read the recent article by Payal et al(1) with great interest. The authors described the use of transillumination by using a cold light source to facilitate venous cannulation in paediatric patients. I applaud the authors for revisiting this technique. However, I would like to mention a few more uses for this technique. The authors only discussed the usefulness of transillumination for venous...
متن کاملRadial artery angioplasty after perforation during diagnostic cardiac catheterisation.
The use of the radial artery as an access site for diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures has been extensively developed in recent years as a result of reduced complications at puncture site, reduced costs and the improvement in the patients' quality of life. The complications of trans-radial procedures are rarely major and very rarely life threatening--a key benefit of the radial app...

of the hand. However, these described complications may ultimately result in upper extremity dysfunction in patients. Zwaan and colleagues performed an extensive systematic review and meta-analysis on all access site complications and subsequent upper extremity dysfunction following TR-PCI and cardiac catheterisation [9]. Upper extremity dysfunction was defined as loss of strength, sensory loss...

AIMS To determine the reproducibility of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and nitrate-mediated dilation (NMD) in the assessment of radial artery vasomotor function, and to examine the effect of transradial catheterisation on radial artery injury and recovery. METHODS Radial artery FMD and NMD were examined in 20 volunteers and 20 patients on four occasions (two visits at least 24 hours apart, wit...
