ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the effects of ultrasound-guided dynamic needle tip positioning (DNTP) and long axis in-plane (LAX-IP) techniques for axillary vein puncture and catheterization.Methods:One hundred Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ-Ⅲ patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 20-28 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective axillary vein cannulation, were divided into 2 groups ( n=49 each) using the random number table method: DNTP group and LAX-IP group.Axillary vein puncture was performed using DNTP technique and LAX-IP technique under ultrasound guidance in DNTP group and LAX-IP group, respectively.Successful puncture at first attempt, overall successful catheterization, the number of needle tip redirection, and axillary vein puncture time and catheterization time were recorded.The occurrence of complications such as axillary artery puncture, posterior wall penetration of axillary vein, hematoma formation, pneumothorax, and nerve injury was recorded. Results:Compared with group LAX-IP, the success rate of puncture at first attempt was significantly increased, the number of cases required needle redirection was decreased, and the puncture time was shortened ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the logarithm of the posterior wall penetration of axillary vein in group DNTP ( P>0.05). No complications such as arterial puncture, hematoma, pneumothorax, or nerve injury occurred in two groups. Conclusions:Compared with LAX-IP technique, ultrasound-guided DNTP technique can dynamically observe the position of the needle tip, the operation is simple and safe, and it is worthy of clinical promotion when used for axillary vein puncture and cannulation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of a single-incision technique via axillary vein (AV) for placement of totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) guided by ultrasound combined with DSA in clinical application. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 240 patients who received TIVAP by single incision technique via AV access guided by ultrasound combined with DSA. We observed and recorded operation-related information such as AV width, AV puncture success rate, implantation success rate, ultrasound-guided puncture time, operation time and intraoperative and postoperative complications, etc. Results All 240 patients were successfully implanted with TIVAP, and the success rate was 100%. In 229 cases, TIVAP was implanted through single-incision AV puncture under the guidance of ultrasound combined with DSA, and the success rate of AV puncture was 95.42% (229/240). In 11 cases, TIVAP was implanted through the ipsilateral internal jugular vein (IJV) under the guidance of ultrasound combined with DSA due to the failure of AV puncture. In the 240 patients, the average width of AV of the intended puncture segment was (7.56±1.26) mm measured by preoperative ultrasound exploration and positioning, in which 195 cases were successfully punctured once, 26 cases were successfully punctured twice, and 8 cases were successfully punctured three times, with the success rate of 81.25%, 10.83% and 3.34%, respectively. The average puncture time under ultrasound guidance was (0.85±0.52) min, and the average operation time was (25.9±4.8) min. The incidence of intraoperative complications was 1.67% (4/240). No hemothorax, hemopneumothorax or serious fatal complications occurred. The incidence of complications during TIVAP retention was 2.92% (7/240). No complication such as catheter-related bloodstream infection, catheter-related venous thrombosis, catheter rupture/displacement, clipping syndrome or drug extravasation was observed. Conclusion Ultrasound combined with DSA guided single-incision technique via AV access in the implantation of TIVAP is a feasible and safe implantation method with high technical success rate, short operation time and low risk of complications. It can be used as another choice of TIVAP implantation method.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective: To compare the efficacy of blind axillary vein puncture utilizing the new surface landmarks for the subclavian method. Methods: This prospective and randomized study was performed at two cardiology medical centers in East China. Five hundred thirty-eight patients indicated to undergo left-sided pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation were enrolled, 272 patients under the axillary access and 266 patients under the subclavian approach. A new superficial landmark was used for the axillary venous approach, whereas conventional landmarks were used for the subclavian venous approach. We measured lead placement time and X-ray time from vein puncture until all leads were placed in superior vena cava. Meanwhile, the rate of success of lead placement and the type and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in baseline characteristics or number of leads implanted. There were high success rates for both strategies (98.6% [494/501] vs. 98.4% [479/487], P=0.752) and similar complication rates (14% [38/272] vs. 15% [40/266], P=0.702). Six cases in the control group developed subclavian venous crush syndrome and five had pneumothorax, while neither pneumothorax nor subclavian venous crush syndrome was observed in the experimental group. Conclusion: We have developed a new blind approach to cannulate the axillary vein, which is as effective as the subclavian access, safer than that, and also allows to get this vein without the guidance of fluoroscopy, contrast, or echography.

Background: Ultrasound (US)-guided internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation is a widely accepted standard procedure. The axillary vein (AV) in comparison to the subclavian vein is easily visualized, but its cannulation is not extensively studied in cardiac patients. Aims: This study is an attempt to study the efficacy of real-time US-guided axillary venous cannulation as a safe alternative for the time-tested US-guided IJV cannulation. Design: This is a prospective randomized controlled study. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 adult patients scheduled for cardiac surgery were divided equally in Group A-US-guided IJV cannulation, and Group B-US-guided axillary venous cannulation. Under local anesthesia and real-time US guidance the IJV or AV was secured. The access time, guidewire time, and procedure time were noted. Furthermore, the number of needle attempts, malposition, change of site, and complications were noted. Results: The data were analyzed for 49 patients in Group A and 48 patients in the Group B due to exclusions. The access time and the guidewire time were comparable in both groups. The first attempt needle puncture was successful for the IJV group in 98% of patients in comparison to 95% of patients in Group B. Guidewire was passed in the first attempt in 94% in Group A and 89% in the Group B. Except for arterial puncture in one case in group A, the complications were insignificant in both groups. Conclusion: The study shows that the US-guided AV cannulation may serve as an effective alternative to the IJV cannulation in cardiac surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the success rate and safety of axillary venipuncture catheterization with ultrasound localization and homologous surface localization (Magney).@*Method@#A total of 80 patients were enrolled in the EICU from January 2017 to September 2018. They were randomly assigned to the Magney method (n=35) and the ultrasound-guided method (n=45). The number of successful punctures, success rate and complications were recorded.@*Results@#Compared with ultrasound-guided method, the one-time success rate (25.7% vs 68.9%, P<0.01), puncture greater than 2 times (34.3% vs 11.1%, P=0.012), and total success rate (82.9% vs 100%, P=0.004) in Magney method were significantly different. Both of the two puncture methods were mis-invasive, and the difference was not statistically significant. In Magney method 2 patients occurred hematoma and 1 patient brachial plexus injury, but no infection occurred within 48 h. While no such occurrence was found in ultrasound-guided method.@*Conclusion@#Ultrasound-guided method axillary venipuncture is a safe and effective method of central venous catheterization, which has higher success rate and safety than Magney method.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the feasibility and safety of a newly developed simple and rapid axillary vein puncture technique based on the surface landmarks for pacemaker implantation.@*Methods@#From January to November 2018, we enrolled 110 patients who underwent pacemaker implantation in Beijing Anzhen Hospital. Basic clinical characteristics, such as gender, age, major diagnosis, type of pacemaker, and His-purkinje system pacing, were collected. The success rate of this axillary vein puncture technique, complications, and technical parameters of present puncture method were analyzed.@*Results@#There were 58 (52.7%) male patients in this cohort and the average aged was (70.26±10.45) years old. This "blind" axillary vein puncture method was successful in 105 out of 110 patients (95.5%). The relevant puncture-related parameters included: the distance between points "a and b" was (3.89±0.40) cm, the first angle α was (25.84±5.54)° and the second angle β was (66.18±10.26)°. There were no puncture-related complications, such as hematoma, pneumothorax and hemothorax.@*Conclusion@#The new "blind" axillary vein puncture approach is a simple, effective and safe technique for pacemaker implantation, which is easy to learn and practice and suitable for promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To compare the effects of various interventions on the incidence of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) .@*Methods@#The clinical data of 218 patients with central venous catheterization were retrospectively analyzed. Infected patients were treated as CLABSI group and non-infected patients as control group.@*Results@#Of the 218 patients, 24 patients were developed CLABSI. There was no significant difference in sex, age, primary infection status and puncture site between CLABSI group and control group. Univariate analysis showed that axillary vein puncture could significantly reduce the incidence of CLABSI (P=0.028), and the infection rate of axillary vein puncture per 1000 days under B-ultrasound was significantly reduced by 0.93‰. The average indwelling days of deep venous catheter in patients with pulse puncture were significantly longer than those in other groups (47.32 days vs 19.90 days). The average indwelling days in patients with axillary vein puncture positioned by B ultrasound were longer than those in patients with other parts of vein puncture positioned by B ultrasound (P < 0.05). Logistic multiple regression analysis showed that the main risk factors for CLABSI were anatomically located puncture (P = 0.031) and non-axillary venous catheterization (P = 0.068).@*Conclusions@#Choosing axillary vein as the position of deep venous catheterization and using ultrasound-guided central venous puncture can reduce the incidence of CLABSI and prolong the average catheterization time.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the application of the axillary central venous catheterization (CVC) based on Nickalls' landmarks in treating adult multiple injury patients.@*Methods@#A retrospective case control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 83 adult multiple injury patients treated in Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from August 2017 to August 2018. There were 48 males and 35 females, aged 21-84 years [(56.5±14.3)years]. The body mass index ranged from 19.8 to 43.1 kg/m2 [(27.6±6.5)kg/m2]. There were 26 patients with mainly craniocerebral injury, 15 with mainly thoracic injury, 28 with mainly abdominal injury, eight with mainly spinal injury and six with mainly pelvic fracture. The injury severity score (ISS) ranged from 24 to 66 points [(41.8±18.1)points]. All the patients received the axillary CVC based on Nickalls' landmarks. The left axillary vein was used as the puncture vein in 16 patients (left group), and the right axillary vein was used as the puncture vein in 67 patients (right group). A total of 36 patients were combined with the clavicle and/or 1-3 rib fractures at the same side as the puncture site (adjacent fracture group), while 47 patients were not combined with the clavicle and/or 1-3 rib fractures at the same side as the puncture site (non-adjacent fracture group). The success rate of catheterization, pneumothorax, hematoma or artery injury, catheter ectopia, catheter-related infection and catheter-related thrombosis were recorded.@*Results@#A total of 80 patients were successfully intubated, with a success rate of 96%. Subgroup analysis showed that the success rate of right group was [97% (65/67)], slightly higher than that of the left group [94%(15/16)] , but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). And the success rate of adjacent fracture group [94%(34/36)] was similar to that of non-adjacent fracture group [98%(46/47)], and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Complication incidences were as follows: hematoma or arterial injury [5%(4/83)], pneumothorax 2%(2/83), catheter-related thrombosis [12%(10/83)], and catheter ectopia [1%(1/83)]. No catheter-related infection was observed. Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of various complications was similar between the left group and the right group (hematoma or arterial injury: 6% vs. 4%, pneumothorax: 0% vs. 3%; catheter ectopic: 0% vs. 1%; catheter-related thrombosis: 13% vs. 12%), and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The incidence of various complications was also similar between the adjacent fracture group and the non-adjacent fracture group (hematoma or arterial injury: 3% vs. 6%; pneumothorax: 3% vs. 2%; catheter ectopic: 0% vs. 2%; catheter-related thrombosis: 17% vs. 9%), and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#Axillary CVC based on Nickalls' landmark has a relatively high catheterization success rate and low complication incidence in adult multiple trauma patients. It is applicable to both left and right sides of axillary vein and suitable for patients with adjacent fracture. However, there still exists a high risk of catheter-related thrombosis, requiring enhanced anticoagulation and regular monitoring of thrombosis during catheterization.

ABSTRACT
Central venous stenosis is a rare cause of unilateral breast edema occurring in hemodialysis patients that needs to be differentiated from other differential diagnoses, including, but not limited to, inflammatory breast carcinoma, mastitis, lymphedema, and congestive heart failure. All reports of similar cases in the available literature have described improvement or resolution of the edema after treatment. Herein, we report and discuss the pathophysiology of breast edema formation in a patient who presented with massive left-sided breast edema 7 years after being diagnosed with central venous stenosis. Medical and minimally invasive therapy had not been successful, so she underwent reduction mammoplasty to relieve the symptoms.

Objective: To evaluate which variables are considered risk factors associated with injury to the axillary vein during lymphadenectomy in the surgical treatment of breast cancer patients. Methods: Retrospective study performed through the electronic record analysis of 1,007 patients who underwent axillary lymph node dissection at Hospital Erasto Gaertner, from January 2010 to December 2014. We assessed the following risk factors using a standard questionnaire: age, body mass index (BMI), presence of palpable axillary metastasis in the clinical examination, sentinel lymph node pre-lymphadenectomy, presence of axillary metastasis in the perioperative period, size of metastasis and if it was adhered to axillary vessels, presence of pectoralis muscle invasion, resection of the pectoralis minor muscle, axillary incision separated from breast incision, prior radiotherapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and pre and postoperative staging. For each patient who presented injury to the axillary vein, we paired them with two homogeneous controls (age, BMI, preoperative staging, surgical proposal, and neoadjuvant treatment). Results: Thirteen patients had injury to the axillary vein. In the perioperative evaluation, in most of them, the axilla was positive in the injury group (10 cases = 76.9%) and control group (12 cases = 46.1%), and it was adhered to axillary vessels in 10 cases in the injury group (76.9%) and 7 in the control group (26.9%). Conclusion: In this study, the presence of axillary metastasis in the perioperative evaluation, as well as that adhered to the axillary vessels, is associated with an increased risk of injury to the axillary vein during lymphadenectomy.

ABSTRACT
Abstract Background The axillary vein is an important blood vessel that participates in drainage of the upper limb. Some individuals present a second axillary vein (accessory axillary vein), which is an important collateral drainage path. Objectives The goal of this study was to determine the incidence of the accessory axillary vein and to describe this vessel’s topography. Methods In this study, axillary dissections were carried out on twenty-four (24) human cadavers of both sexes that had been fixed with 10% formaldehyde. The upper limbs of the cadavers were still attached to the bodies and the axillary structures were preserved. Data collection was carried out and the axillary structures of the cadavers were compared. Results The incidence of accessory axillary veins was 58.3%, with no significant preference for sex or for side of the body. The accessory axillary vein originated from the lateral brachial vein in 39.28% of cases, from the common brachial vein in 35.71% of cases, and from the deep brachial vein in 25% of cases. Conclusions Its high incidence and clinical relevance make the accessory axillary vein important for provision of collateral circulation in the event of traumatic injury to the axillary vein.
Resumo Contexto A veia axilar é um importante vaso que participa da drenagem sanguínea do membro superior. Porém, em alguns indivíduos, é observada uma segunda veia axilar, denominada veia axilar acessória, que é uma notável via de drenagem colateral. Objetivos O objetivo desta pesquisa foi observar a prevalência da veia axilar acessória, bem como descrever a topografia desse vaso. Métodos Neste estudo foram realizadas dissecações das axilas em 24 cadáveres humanos fixados em formaldeído 10%, de ambos os sexos, que apresentavam os membros superiores articulados ao tronco e com as estruturas axilares preservadas. A coleta de dados foi realizada e as estruturas axilares dos cadáveres foram comparadas. Resultados Foi encontrada uma prevalência de 58,3% de veias axilares acessórias, não havendo predileção significativa por gênero nem por lado acometido. Também foi observado que, em 39,28% dos casos, a veia acessória era originada a partir da veia braquial lateral, em 35,71% a partir da veia braquial comum, e em 25% a partir da veia braquial profunda. Conclusão Devido à sua alta prevalência e relevância clínica, a veia axilar acessória também assume grande importância no tocante à circulação colateral diante de lesão traumática da veia axilar.

Objective To investigate the application effect of indwelling needle puncture in the axillary vein of newborn infants.Methods From September 2015 to February 2016,the venous indwelling needle puncture was given for neonatal transfusion 180 cases,including 90 cases of the axillary vein indwelling needle infusion in the experimental group,and 90 cases of puncture of extremity vein infusion in the control group.The application effect of the 2 groups was compared.Results There were significant differences in terms of indwelling needle shedding,phlebitis,drug extravasation,lien time between the experimental group and the control group (P ＜ 0.05) Conclusions During neonatal indwelling needle puncture infusion process,the axillary vein indwelling needle infusion can prevent the indwelling needle shedding,decrease the incidence of phlebitis and reduce the incidence of drug extravasation,and can prolong the indwelling time.Puncture in the simple operation easy,is easy to learn and no need for special facilities and equipment,only conventional intravenous infusion required material,plus 24g indwelling needle,aseptic transparent dressing,paper tape,economical and practical,suitable for application in neonatal ward.
