Background: Peripheral intravenous catheterization is one of the most painful procedures in children settings. Based on evidence, most of children do not benefit from pharmacological and non- pharmacological methods of pain management for this procedure and family members consider this experience as one of the most distressing ones in the hospital.

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...

A contrast echocardiographic technique using peripheral vein injections for the detection and localization of intracardiac right-to-left shunting is described. Fifty children underwent cardiac catheterization and peripheral contrast echocardiographic studies. The site, degree, and direction of shunting were established at catheterization by oximetry, indicator dilution analysis and/or angiograp...

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: Arterial catheters are frequently needed to optimize the intensive care in sick newborn. Umbilical Catheters (UAC) is more popular than peripheral arterial catheterization. They utilized provide continuous accurate blood pressure monitoring, frequent assessment of gas exchange efficiency, sampling and rarely for transfusion. may be used emergencies infuse fluids or medications absen...

The occurrence of catheter-induced vasospasm of small caliber arteries is a well known complication of arterial catheterization in neonates. However, there is rare publication about these complications in infants. We report infants with peripheral ischemia caused by arterial catheterization of the femoral artery.
