Vascular access for renal replacement therapy in acute kidney injury August 22, 2019
Renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the setting of acute kidney injury (AKI) is generally provided by either tunneled or nontunneled dialysis catheters (TDCs or NTDCs), used immediately after insertion” Kelly and Mendu (2019). Abstract: Renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the setting of acute kidney injury (AKI) is generally provided by either tunneled or nont […]

Identification and management of children with difficult intravenous access August 22, 2019
Identification of children with difficult intravenous access (DIVA) can help promote prompt escalation to an appropriately skilled clinician” Schults et al (2019). Abstract: BACKGROUND: Peripheral venous cannulation is considered a routine procedure, yet 50% of first attempt insertions fail, necessitating repeat insertion attempts. Identification of children […]

Air embolism following peripheral intravenous access August 22, 2019
We present a case of symptomatic venous air embolism likely arising from peripheral intravenous access gained during an interventional pain procedure” Vinan-Vega et al 92019). Abstract: Air embolism is a rare, often misdiagnosed, potentially fatal condition. It is most frequently associated with invasive vascular procedures and mechanical ventilation. Air em […]

ED visits and hospitalizations among hemodialysis patients August 22, 2019
Previous reports indicated that patients on thrice-weekly hemodialysis (HD) had higher mortality rates after the 3-day interdialytic interval. However, day-of-the-week patterns of emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations remain under-investigated” Zhang et al (2019). Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Previous reports indicated that patients on […]
