Elimination of central-venous-catheterrelated bloodstream infections from the intensive care unit. Small study effects (including potential publication bias) were explored by examining forest and funnel plots, regression tests, trim-and-fill results, and limit meta-analysis. When obtaining central venous access in the femoral vein, the key anatomical landmarks to identify in the inguinal-femoral region are the inguinal ligament and the femoral artery pulsation. The literature is insufficient to evaluate outcomes associated with the routine use of intravenous prophylactic antibiotics. Randomized, controlled clinical trial of point-of-care limited ultrasonography assistance of central venous cannulation: The Third Sonography Outcomes Assessment Program (SOAP-3) Trial. Use real-time ultrasound guidance for vessel localization and venipuncture when the internal jugular vein is selected for cannulation (see fig.

Survey Findings. When available, category A evidence is given precedence over category B evidence for any particular outcome. 1), After insertion of a catheter that went over the needle or a thin-wall needle, confirm venous access, If there is any uncertainty that the catheter or wire resides in the vein, confirm venous residence of the wire after the wire is threaded; insertion of a dilator or large-bore catheter may then proceed, After final catheterization and before use, confirm residence of the catheter in the venous system as soon as clinically appropriate####, Confirm the final position of the catheter tip as soon as clinically appropriate*****, Example of a Standardized Equipment Cart for Central Venous Catheterization for Adult Patients. Prepare the skin with chlorhexidine, and cover the area with a sterile drape. Effect of central line bundle on central lineassociated bloodstream infections in intensive care units. If you feel any resistance as you advance the guidewire, stop advancing it. Comparison of Oligon catheters and chlorhexidine-impregnated sponges with standard multilumen central venous catheters for prevention of associated colonization and infections in intensive care unit patients: A multicenter, randomized, controlled study. These studies were combined with 258 pre-2011 articles from the previous guidelines, resulting in a total of 542 articles accepted as evidence for these guidelines. Findings from these RCTs are reported separately as evidence. Ultrasound for localization of central venous catheter: A good alternative to chest x-ray? Inferred findings are given a directional designation of beneficial (B), harmful (H), or equivocal (E). Using a combined nursing and medical approach to reduce the incidence of central line associated bacteraemia in a New Zealand critical care unit: A clinical audit. The American Society of Anesthesiologists practice parameter methodology. A summary of recommendations can be found in appendix 1. Chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing for prevention of colonization of central venous catheters in infants and children: A randomized controlled study. A minimum of 5 supervised successful procedures in both the chest and femoral sites is required (10 total). The consultants and ASA members agree with the recommendations to (1) select the smallest size catheter appropriate for the clinical situation; (2) select a thin-wall needle (i.e., Seldinger) technique versus a catheter-over-the-needle (i.e., modified Seldinger) technique for the subclavian approach; (3) select a thin-wall needle or catheter-over-the-needle technique for the jugular or femoral approach based on the clinical situation and the skill/experience of the operator; and (4) base the decision to use a thin-wall needle technique or a catheter-over-the-needle technique at least in part on the method used to confirm that the wire resides in the vein before a dilator or large-bore catheter is threaded. Confirmation of correct central venous catheter position in the preoperative setting by echocardiographic bubble-test.. Survey Findings. Microbiological evaluation of central venous catheter administration hubs. Survey Findings. tip too high: proximal SVC. Consultants were drawn from the following specialties where central venous access is a concern: anesthesiology (97% of respondents) and critical care (3% of respondents). Benefits of minocycline and rifampin-impregnated central venous catheters: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled, multicenter trial. The literature is insufficient to evaluate the effect of the physical environment for aseptic catheter insertion, availability of a standardized equipment set, or the use of an assistant on outcomes associated with central venous catheterization. They also may serve as a resource for other physicians (e.g., surgeons, radiologists), nurses, or healthcare providers who manage patients with central venous catheters. Fatal respiratory obstruction following insertion of a central venous line. A chest x-ray will be performed immediately following thoracic central line placement to assure line placement and rule out pneumothorax. For these guidelines, central venous access is defined as placement of a catheter such that the catheter is inserted into a venous great vessel. Ultrasound localization of central vein catheter and detection of postprocedural pneumothorax: An alternative to chest radiography. Objective To investigate the efficacy of the minimally invasive clamp reduction technique via the anterior approach in the treatment of irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fractures. The consultants strongly agree and ASA members agree with the recommendation that after the injury has been evaluated and a treatment plan has been executed, confer with the surgeon regarding relative risks and benefits of proceeding with the elective surgery versus deferring surgery to allow for a period of patient observation. potential malposition. The consultants strongly agree and ASA members agree with the recommendation to not routinely administer intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis. Survey Findings. Evolution and aetiological shift of catheter-related bloodstream infection in a whole institution: The microbiology department may act as a watchtower. If a physician successfully performs the 5 supervised lines in one site, they are independent for that site only. (Co-Chair), Wilmette, Illinois; Richard T.
