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.

Presentation of a central venous catheter misplacement case January 17, 2019
Placement was performed under ultrasound guidance, with confirmation of the wire within the venous lumen. Radiographs suggested that the introducer had perforated the innominate vein. Contrast was injected through the single-lumen infusion catheter and showed cannulation of the left internal mammary vein” Tashjian et al 92019). Abstract: We present a central […]

Peripheral intravenous access for extracorporal photopheresis January 17, 2019
Extracorporal photopheresis (ECP) was shown to be effective without severe side effects in the treatment of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) and graft versus host disease (GvHD). However, only few studies investigated the practical aspects of ECP” Hambsch et al (2019). Abstract: BACKGROUND: Extracorporal photopheresis (ECP) was shown to be effective without […]

Treatment of cancer-related venous thromboembolism January 17, 2019
Cancer patients develop a hypercoagulable state with a four- to seven-fold higher thromboembolic risk compared to non-cancer patients” Grandoni and Alberio (2019). Abstract: Cancer patients develop a hypercoagulable state with a four- to seven-fold higher thromboembolic risk compared to non-cancer patients. Thromboembolic events can precede the diagnosis of […]

Financial impact of approaches to reduce bacterial contamination of platelet transfusions January 17, 2019
Bacterial contamination of platelets remains the leading infectious risk from blood transfusion. Pathogen reduction (PR), point-of-release testing (PORt), and secondary bacterial culture (SBC) have been proposed as alternative risk control strategies, but a comprehensive financial comparison has not been conducted” Kacker et al (2019). Abstract: BACKGROUND: […]
