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.

Compartment syndrome of the leg following IO needle Insertion November 21, 2019
Intraosseous (IO) needles are used in patients who are critically ill when it is not possible to obtain venous access” Kibrik et al (2019). Abstract: Intraosseous (IO) needles are used in patients who are critically ill when it is not possible to obtain venous access. While IO allows for immediate access, IO infusions are associated [...] The post Compartmen […]

Inadvertent arterial placement of central venous catheter November 21, 2019
During such an emergency and placing without imaging guidance, sometimes inadvertent placement of CVC in subclavian artery (SCA) can occur” Shaw et al (2019). Abstract: The frequency of placing a central venous catheter (CVC) has increased and it is often performed in emergency situation for venous access. During such an emergency and placing without imaging […]

Safety of peripheral administration of vasopressor medications November 21, 2019
Reports of the administration of vasopressors via PiVCs, when given for a limited duration, under close observation, suggest that extravasation is uncommon and is unlikely to lead to major complications” Tian et al (2019). Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Vasopressor medications have traditionally been administered via central venous catheters (CVCs), primarily due to c […]

Novel treatment of a vaccinia virus infection from an occupational needlestick November 21, 2019
CDC was notified about an unvaccinated laboratory worker with a needlestick exposure to VACV, who developed a lesion on her left index finger” Whitehouse et al (2019). Abstract: Vaccinia virus (VACV) is an orthopoxvirus used in smallpox vaccines, as a vector for novel cancer treatments, and for experimental vaccine research (1). The Advisory Committee on [.. […]
