ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze and summarize the clinical effect of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) guided by B-ultrasound,and to discuss the catheterization skills of PICC guided by B ultrasound.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 102 patients recieved PICC guided by ultrasound in neurosurgery department of Chongqing emergency medical center from January 2016 to May 2017.The success rate of one-time puncture, the success rate of one-time catheter delivery and the number of complications were analyzed, and the causes and treatment methods of complications were analyzed.Results Of the 102 cases,94 cases were successfully punctured in one time,6 cases were punctured twice,and 2 cases were punctured more than 2 times.The one-time puncture success rate was 92.16%.Catheter misplacement occurred in 5 patients,and postoperative complications occurred in 2 patients.Conclusion Mastering the related angiotomy and imaging knowledge of PICC and using the B-ultrasound guidance system to insert the catheter can improve the success rate of catheterization and reduce the postoperative complications.
ABSTRACT
A 64-year-old female was admitted due to iliopsoas abscess caused by misplacement of a central venous catheter (CVC) into the ascending lumbar vein (ALV). Despite removing the CVC and administering an antimicrobial agent, her general condition did not improve. Therefore, we performed a contrast-enhanced head computed tomography (CT) scan. The CT scan revealed a cerebellum abscess. Surgical cerebellum abscess drainage was thus performed urgently. We recommend using anteroposterior radiographs, J-guide wire catheter and ultrasound guidance to prevent misplacement. If misplacement of the CVC is suspected, it should be removed and a CT scan performed without hesitation as soon as possible.
ABSTRACT
Objective To identify the risk factors and early indicators for misplacement of subclavian vein catheter into ipsilateral internal jugular vein.Methods From August 2008 to July 2009,subclavian vein catheterization was successfully performed with Seldinger method in 167 patients in Department of General Surgery,Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University.The paraeentesis side,pameentesis site,direction of puncture needle.and the perceptions of both patients and operators during catheter placement were recorded.The correlation of these factors,age,and gender with the misplacement of subclavian vein catheter into internal jugular vein was analyzed.Results Sixteen patients(9.58%)experienced misplacement of subclavian vein catheter into ipsilateral internal jugnlar vein,which was not significantly correlated with age(P=0.375),gender(P=0.259),paraeentesis side (P=0.175),or paracentesis site(P=0.061).Misplacement of subclavian vein catheter into internal jugular vein was significantly more frequent when the direction of puncture needle was toward the midpoint of suprasternal fossa and laryngeal prominence(P=0.002).When the paracentesis site was located at a point at the junction of medial one-third and lateral two-tllirds of the clavicle.it was more frequent that the puncture needle was toward the midpoint of suprasternal fossa andlaryngeal prominence(P=0.010).There were more misplacement events when the patients feel ears pain(P=0.000)and when the operator felt resistance when inserting gnidewire during catheter placement(P=0.000).Conclusions Misplacement of subclavian vein catheter into ipsilateral internal jugnlar vein occurs more frequently when the direction of puncture needle is towards the midpoint between suprasternal fossa and laryngeal prominence.Patients feel ears pain and operators feel resistance when inserting guidewire during catheter placement are early indicators of misplacement.
