BACKGROUND: Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates in intensive care units (ICUs) across Latin America exceed those in high-income countries significantly. METHODS: We implemented the INICC multidimensional approach, incorporating an 11-component bundle, in 122 ICUs spanning nine Asian countries. We computed the CLABSI rate using the CDC/NSHN definition and criteria. The CLABSI rate per 1000 CL-days was calculated at baseline and throughout different phases of the intervention, including the 2nd month, 3rd month, 4-16 month, and 17-29 month periods...

Epicutaneo-caval catheter (ECC) has been widely used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). ECC line Knots in intravascular is an unexpected complication and has been reported in adults mostly. Few cases reported knot formation during ECC insertion and removal in neonates. In this case, we introduced a spontaneous knot formation during the insertion of the central catheter, which was finally successfully removed.

INTRODUCTION: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation during an inpatient hospitalization is often performed for patient convenience and to ensure compliance. We sought to evaluate whether this approach has comparable outcomes to outpatient AVF creation. METHODS: We identified patients undergoing index AVF creation from the United States Renal Data System dataset (2012-2017). Patients were grouped into outpatient and inpatient. Outpatient included patients that were operated in either an outpatient setting, ambulatory surgical center or were admitted inpatient on the day of AVF creation...

BACKGROUND: Catheterization of central vessels can be associated with early and late, potentially fatal complications. A proactive approach is imperative to reduce the frequency and magnitude of adverse events. Recently, the GAVeCeLT has proposed a protocol called SICA-PED (i.e. Safe Insertion of Central Access in Pediatric patients) and includes seven evidence-based strategies. METHODS: Through a single-center prospective observational study, the authors wanted to consolidate the efficacy and safety of these protocol in newborns...

INTRODUCTION: Ultrasound-guided placement of Midlines catheters (MCs) is a standard procedure with many benefits for patients. Even if there are some guidelines worldwide, this invasive technique is still taught at the patient's bed and relies on mentoring in many care centers. The performance of this care by novice practitioners raises ethical and quality of care issues mainly because of its risk of complications. This study aimed to propose and assess a simulation-based learning method for the placement of MCs in novice practitioners...

BACKGROUND: Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters play an increasingly important role in Central Venous Access Devices. However, the use of these devices should be carefully considered in specific situations such as central catheterisation in patients with chronic kidney disease. When evaluating the feasibility of placement for a patient undergoing dialysis, the relationship between changes in circulating volume before and after dialysis treatment, and potential variations in the size of deep veins in the upper limbs, should be considered...

This case report highlights the successful management of fatal cardiac tamponade caused by intravascular intervention for central vein occlusion in hemodialysis patients. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential for patient prognosis in such cases. We present a case involving a challenging surgical procedure to address multiple complications, emphasizing the importance of early detection and appropriate interventions. The patient, who had a history of long-term central venous catheter use for hemodialysis, was diagnosed with central vein stenosis in addition to superior vena cava occlusion, hemodialysis catheter rupture, hypertension, and end-stage renal disease...

Patients requiring dialysis are extremely vulnerable to infectious diseases. The high burden of comorbidities and weakened immune system due to uremia and previous immunosuppressive therapy expose the patient on dialysis to more infectious events than the general population. The infectious risk is further increased by the presence of endovascular catheters and implantable cardiologic devices. The former is generally placed as urgent vascular access for dialysis and in subjects requiring hemodialysis treatments without autogenous arteriovenous fistula...

BACKGROUND: Subclavian vein cannulation is an important technique of central venous cannulation with a supraclavicular and an infraclavicular approach. There are randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which highlight the various differences between these two approaches when accessed via ultrasound. We undertook a meta-analysis to compare the ultrasound guided supraclavicular subclavian and the infraclavicular subclavian/axillary vein cannulation, keeping in mind that the infraclavicular approach may lead to cannulation of either subclavian/axillary vein...

BACKGROUND: Peripheral arterial catheters (PACs), and their associated complications, are common in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Accidental catheter displacement and non-functional PACs are the most common complications, and this may be related to inadequate catheter securement. There is mixed guidance on the best way to secure PACs to prevent complications. The authors hypothesized that sutures would not be associated with a decreased risk of malfunction or accidental removal...

Dialysis access thrombosis is a common complication in the process of care. With the introduction of endovascular AV-fistulas [AVF]s the situation gained complexity with new potential thrombosis localizations. Several thrombectomy methods are available for recanalization of thrombosed AVFs ranging from invasive surgical methods to minimal invasive endovascular approaches. Early assessment, diagnosis and treatment is crucial for prolonging the life span of an AVF and preventing the need for placement of central venous catheters...

BACKGROUND: Introducing new procedures and challenging established paradigms requires well-designed randomised controlled trials (RCT). However, RCT in surgery present unique challenges with much of treatment tailored to the individual patient circumstances, refined by experience and limited by organisational factors. There has been considerable debate over the outcomes of arteriovenous grafts (AVG) compared to AVF, but any differences may reflect differing practice and potential variability...

Insertion of umbilical venous catheters is a common procedure in neonatal intensive care. Though sometimes lifesaving, this maneuver is potentially associated with early and late complications, some of which may be severe and even life threatening (catheter malposition, hepatic lesions, venous thrombosis, pericardial effusion, etc.). The recent literature suggests several operative strategies that, if adopted systematically, may significantly reduce the incidence of both early and late catheter related complications...

BACKGROUND: Although end stage renal disease patients who undergo hemodialysis frequently experience dialysis-associated thrombotic complications, there remains a paucity of literature comparing the efficacy of different endovascular salvage techniques for grafts and fistulas. This study aims to compare primary patency in dialysis access following salvage mechanical thrombolysis/thrombectomy with a rotational thrombolysis device versus balloon maceration. METHODS: Using a database of patient records at a tertiary medical center, all patients who underwent rotational thrombectomy with the Cleaner XT™ Rotational Thrombectomy System for endovascular salvage of arteriovenous fistula or arteriovenous graft from August 2016 to July 2022 were included in the population...

BACKGROUND: A well-functioning vascular access (VA) is crucial for the patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). Central venous stenosis (CVS) is a common, yet, overlooked complication of VA as its diagnosis is challenging. Moreover, its effect on the flow volume (FV) and the peripheral resistive index (RI) was not well discussed before. Despite the availability of doppler ultrasound (DUS) in most centers, direct visualization of central veins using DUS is quite difficult. METHODS: This is a retrospective single-center self-controlled cohort study that was conducted in a specialized vascular access management tertiary center in Japan and included all patients with CVS who underwent percutaneous transluminal angiography (PTA) with or without vascular stenting in the period from January 2014 to September 2022...
