Ultrasound Guided CVC Insertion Course – recorded live @ UCSD August 30th 2015 – Vascular Access – an evidence-based approach

These are the audio/video recordings from the USG-CVC Insertion Course – Compliance Within Practice didactic and clinical stations, initially recorded on August 30th, 2015 for the SANVAN (San Diego Vascular Access Network) meeting.

The original files have been saved and stored here for ongoing access to clinical education.

This program is for academic and non-academic institutions to improve their compliance within practice for ultrasound-guided CVC insertion practices and principles, using current evidence-based practices.

Economic burden associated with peripheral IV catheter-related complications September 21, 2019
This study aimed to analyze the clinical and economic impact of peripheral intravenous-related complications on hospitalized patients” Lim et al (2019). Abstract: The burden of complications associated with peripheral intravenous use is underevaluated, in part, due to the broad use, inconsistent coding, and lack of mandatory reporting of these devices. This […]

Impact of a simple hygiene insertion bundle on CLABSI rates September 21, 2019
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the CRI/CRBSI incidence and the association between potential risk factors, including the introduction of a simple hygiene insertion bundle and CRIs at a large university hospital in Sweden” Thorarinsdottir et al (2019). Abstract: BACKGROUND: Catheter-related infections (CRIs) and catheter-related bloodstream […]

Fibroblastic sheath mimicking a central venous catheter fragment September 21, 2019
When calcified, fibroblastic (formerly known as “fibrin”) sheaths may be easily mistaken for retained catheter fragments. We describe one such case and how imaging was used to recognize the sheath and avoid unnecessary interventions” Baciarello et al (2019). Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Fibroblastic sheath formation is a well-known complication of long-term centr […]

Virtual reality headset to decrease venipuncture pain September 21, 2019
This experimental study was conducted to determine the effect of using a virtual reality headset on decreasing the pain felt during a venipuncture procedure in children” Aydın et al (2019). Abstract: PURPOSE: This experimental study was conducted to determine the effect of using a virtual reality headset on decreasing the pain felt during a venipuncture [... […]

Brachial artery pseudoaneurysm post-venipuncture September 21, 2019
Brachial artery pseudoaneurysms (BAPs) are rare but could lead to complications of high morbidity. We report a case of a BAP presenting with hand ischemia and median nerve neuropathy nearly a decade after the inciting iatrogenic trauma” Lee et al (2019). Abstract: Brachial artery pseudoaneurysms (BAPs) are rare but could lead to complications of high [...] T […]
