abstract background totally implantable central venous access devices (ports) have been available for over 10 years, but have not been achieved widespread use in pediatric oncology patients. ports facilitate the administration of chemotherapy in children with cancer. materials and methods in this study, early complications of implantable central venous access devices in children with different ...

in order to determine the effect of valsalva maneuver and head rotation on the internal jugular vein (ijv) diameter and cross-sectional area and overlap with the carotid artery (ca) and find the best technique for safe cannulation of the ijv and decrease the risk of ca puncture, the diameter of both the ijv and the ca and percentage of overlap between the two vessels and cross-sectional area of...

conclusions noninvasive assessment of the patient hydration condition using the ultrasound is a simple and practicable measure in emergency. with regard to the considerations, it is possible to estimate cvp via diameter measurement and cross-section of the central veins. results twenty patients with the mean age of 60.3 were studied. the main reason for cardiac catheterization was shock. there ...

background: by increasing the survival of immature newborns, intravenous access methods, used to provide intravenous therapy, became more important. more attention has been recently paid on peripherally inserted central venous catheters in newborns, although it is yet unknown in iran. in this study, we tried to discover the barriers to spread the usage of peripherally inserted central venous ca...

conclusions the cannulation of the central vein in neonates and children in a skilled hand would be performed with great success rate and low complications. results there were 1340 newborn patients (first 28 days of life) in our study population. in these newborns, only 55 cannulations failed; one patient was complicated with pneumothorax; guide wires malfunctioned in 21 cases; and first- attem...

conclusions most of the catheter-related deaths were due to severe sepsis and hemothorax, and a significant relationship was noted between infection and both the mortality rate and catheterization duration. a significant relationship was also evident between birth weight and infection rates. background developments in the use of central venous catheters have improved the treatment of critically...

BACKGROUND Central venous catheters are commonly inserted for hemodynamic monitoring, volume monitoring, administration of medications, long-term total parenteral nutrition, access for renal replacement therapy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and difficult peripheral catheterization. The primary outcome of this study was to define venipuncture, catheterization and entire procedure success rates...
