Neonatal care often necessitates reliable vascular access for the administration of parenteral nutrition, medications, and other critical therapies. The Modified Seldinger Technique (MST) has emerged as a valuable method for inserting neonatal peripherally inserted...
Introduction Venous catheters are essential medical devices for intravenous (IV) therapy, allowing healthcare professionals to administer medications, fluids, and nutrients directly into a patient's bloodstream. The choice of catheter can significantly impact both...
The thoracic reservoir has been widely used for vascular access in chronic patients for many years, particularly in oncology. It is a reliable device, and when not in use, it requires relatively low maintenance care. However, as indicated by the recent study by...
Haemodynamic instability frequently manifests during the perioperative course of high-risk surgical patients. This instability arises primarily during surgery due to the influence of anaesthetic agents on vascular tone, compounded by surgical bleeding. Post-surgery,...
Haemodynamic monitoring provides us with information on cardiovascular performance and has therefore become a fundamental tool in the diagnostic approach and therapeutic orientation. More and more devices are becoming available that allow us to carry out advanced...
PICC-port is an implanted catheter that is undoubtedly gaining ground in the world of vascular access. Its growing success is not surprising: it comes with new indications, cost reduction and patient satisfaction. Even if PICC-port has been in use for several decades,...
Healthcare professionals working with oncology patients are used to handling fully implanted catheters. In recent years, PICC-port has proven to be very useful in the field. However, any vascular access device can become a problem if its placement has not been optimal...
