conclusions the us-guided method for cvc placement was superior to the traditional landmark method in terms of access time, number of attempts, success rate, and fewer complications. objectives this study aimed to compare the traditional landmark method vs. us-guided method of cvc placement in terms of complications and success rate. patients and methods in this randomized controlled trial, pat...

conclusions despite close concordance between ultrasonography and chest radiography, ceus is not a suitable alternative for standard chest radiography in detecting cvc location; however, considering its high sensitivity and acceptable specificity in our study, its usefulness as a triage method for detecting cvc location on a real-time basis in the operating room cannot be ignored. results chest...

introduction: finding the probable governing pattern of peep and cvp changes is an area of interest for in-charge physicians and researchers. therefore, the present study was designed with the aim of evaluating the relationship between the mentioned pressures. methods: in this quasi-experimental study, patients under mechanical ventilation were evaluated with the aim of assessing the effect of ...

conclusions invasive treatment of dialysis patients for cvc related complications is effective and durable during mid-term follow up with no re-intervention, clinical episode of vte or death. cta is a reliable mean for the diagnosis of cvc related complications. methods this is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of dialysis patients treated for cvc-related complications an...

abstract we report a 54-year-old woman with the history of end-stage renal disease (esrd) who was admitted to our hospital because of volume overload. due to long-term use of peripheral veins and arteriovenous fistula (avf) failure, central venous catheterization was the only choice for hemodialysis. she developed right upper extremiti’s pain and paresis during hemodialysis. a posteroanterior c...

diagnosis of cardiac tamponade has been mainly based on clinical features and echocardiography. however, ct may be an initial tool for the evaluation of cardiac tamponade because cutting edge ct is increasingly being installed in the emergency room, and presentation of cardiac tamponade can be nonspecific. importantly, ct has better spatial resolution compared with echocardiography. thus, ident...

introduction: determining the proper angle for inserting central venous catheter (cv line) is of great importance for decreasing the complications and increasing success rate. the present study was designed to determine the proper angle of needle insertion for internal jugular vein catheterization.  methods: in the present case series study, candidate patients for catheterization of the right i...

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...

background catheterization of central veins is a routine technique which is widely used in general hospitals and medical intensive care units. it should be carefully performed and managed to prevent adverse side effects. case presentation in this case report, we describe a case of lost guide wire during central venous catheterization, which was successfully treated with a minimally invasive sur...
