TL;DR: The recommendations following the conference suggest the advantage of 2D vascular screening prior to cannulation and that real-time ultrasound needle guidance with an in-plane/long-axis technique optimises the probability of needle placement.
Journal ArticleDOI
ESPEN Guidelines on Parenteral Nutrition: central venous catheters (access, care, diagnosis and therapy of complications).
TL;DR: Most non-infective complications of central venous access devices can also be prevented by appropriate, standardized protocols for line insertion and maintenance, as well as adequate policies for flushing and locking lines which are not in use.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Michigan Appropriateness Guide for Intravenous Catheters (MAGIC): Results From a Multispecialty Panel Using the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method
Vineet Chopra,Scott A. Flanders,Sanjay Saint,Scott C. Woller,Naomi P. O'Grady,Nasia Safdar,Scott O. Trerotola,Rajiv Saran,Nancy Moureau,Stephen Wiseman,Mauro Pittiruti,Elie A. Akl,Agnes Y.Y. Lee,Anthony Courey,Lakshmi Swaminathan,Jack LeDonne,Carol Becker,Sarah L. Krein,Steven J. Bernstein +18 more
TL;DR: A multidisciplinary meeting of national and international experts was organized and conducted to develop appropriateness criteria for use, care, and management of PICCs and related VADs in hospitalized patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular access in oncology patients.
TL;DR: An overview of the available vascular access devices and of the most relevant issues regarding insertion and management of vascular access is presented in this paper, where the use of ultrasound guidance is given as the preferred technique of insertion, which has dramatically decreased insertion-related complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence-based consensus on the insertion of central venous access devices: definition of minimal requirements for training
Nancy Moureau,Massimo Lamperti,L.J. Kelly,Robert B. Dawson,Mahmoud Elbarbary,A.J.H. van Boxtel,Mauro Pittiruti +6 more
TL;DR: Recommendations suggest central venous access education include didactic or web-based teaching with insertion procedure, infection prevention, complications, care, and maintenance of devices, along with laboratory models and tools for simulation practice incorporating ultrasound.
