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.

Proof of concept for a strategy to reduce CLABSI rates in pediatric patients March 21, 2019
The results of this study offer a proof of concept for a strategy to reduce CLABSI rates in pediatric patients who reside in remote and low-resource environments and are undergoing HPN” Fuchs et al 92019). Abstract: BACKGROUND: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are major sources of morbidity, death, and healthcare costs in patients who […]

Vascular access in children requiring maintenance haemodialysis March 21, 2019
Here we present clinical practice recommendations for AVFs and CVLs in children with ESKD” Shroff et al (2019). Abstract: BACKGROUND: There are three principle forms of vascular access available for the treatment of children with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) by haemodialysis: tunnelled catheters placed in a central vein (central venous lines, CVLs), arter […]

Stability of mycophenolate mofetil in polypropylene 5% dextrose infusion bags March 21, 2019
We studied the stability of 1-10 mg/mL Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) in polypropylene (PP) 5% dextrose infusion bags prepared from Cellcept® and a generic brand name (Micofenolato de Mofetilo Accord) at different storage temperatures. To ensure chemical compatibility during preparation, we also tested MMF sorption to the EQUASHIELD® closed-system drug transfer […]

Parenteral versus oral iron for treatment of iron deficiency anaemia March 21, 2019
The burden of iron deficiency anaemia during pregnancy and post-partum continues to remain high especially in India. Challenges to treatment include gastrointestinal side effects and non compliance to oral iron therapy. Newer parenteral formulations need to be explored as alternatives” Radhika et al (2019). Abstract: INTRODUCTION: The burden of iron deficien […]
