Needle insertion skill in central venous catheterization training December 15, 2018
Training for ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization (CVC) is typically conducted on static manikin simulators with real-time feedback from a skilled observer. Dynamic haptic robotic trainers (DHRTs) are an alternative method that simulates various patient anatomies and provides consistent feedback for each insertion” Chen et al (2018). Abstract; BA […]

Risk of bleeding after ultrasound-guided jugular central venous catheter insertion December 15, 2018
We sought to assess the incidence and risk factors of bleeding after ultrasound-guided internal jugular (USGIJ) catheter insertion in severely thrombocytopenic cancer patients, as safe platelet (PLT) count threshold remains controversial” AlRstum et al (2019). Abstract: INTRODUCTION: We sought to assess the incidence and risk factors of bleeding after ultras […]

Evaluation of an intraosseous needle causing compartment syndrome December 15, 2018
We present a case where point-of-care ultrasound was used to quickly identify a malfunctioning IO needle that resulted in compartment syndrome of the lower extremity” Abramson et al (2018). Abstract: Intraosseous (IO) needles are used in critically ill patients when it is not possible to quickly obtain venous access. While they allow for immediate access, [. […]
