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.

Comparing PICC infectious complications with other types of central catheters September 14, 2019
There is insufficient evidence to show a difference in CRBSI rates between PICCs and tunneled catheters. On the other hand, PICCs showed lower CRBSI rates than ports” Mateo-Lobo et al (2019). Abstract: BACKGROUND: Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) has become a common therapy. There is still controversy regarding the possibility that peripherally inserted centr […]

Survey suggests rise in the incidence of sharp injuries September 14, 2019
There is an urgent need for aggressive SI-reduction strategies, including leadership support, safety-engineered devices (SED) training/education, and adoption of safer, less user-dependent SED” Grimmond and Good (2019). Abstract: Background: The annual Exposure Survey of Trends in Occupational Practice (EXPO-S.T.O.P.), conducted by the Association of Occupat […]

Antibiotic prophylaxis prior to totally implantable port placement September 14, 2019
To determine if ending the practice of administering prophylactic antibiotics prior to the placement of totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs) is correlated with an increase in 30-day bloodstream infection-related TIVADs removals” Choksi et al (2019). Abstract: BACKGROUND: To determine if ending the practice of administering prophylactic antibiot […]

Incidence and prevention behavior for needlestick injuries September 14, 2019
This study analyzes the different rate of incidence and prevention behavior for needlestick injuries (NSIs)” Silowati et al (2019). Abstract: OBJECTIVE: This study analyzes the different rate of incidence and prevention behavior for needlestick injuries (NSIs). METHOD: This is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional design. Respondents were selected usi […]

What is the burden of CLABSI on hospital admission? September 14, 2019
Efforts to reduce CLABSIs should address patients across the entire health care system” Leeman et al (2019). Abstract: Few data exist on the incidence of central line–associated bloodstream infection present on hospital admission (CLABSI-POA), although the practice of patients maintaining central lines outside of hospitals is increasing. We describe patients […]
