The Catheter Team

AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1964
The authors report that they "cannot claim to have solved entirely the problem of preventing infection in patients with indwelling catheters." They believe, though, that the assignment of catheter care responsibilities to a small and highly skilled group of nursing personnel represents a practical and helpful approach to this problem.

Catheters and Catheter Care

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1986
For patients with incontinence who cannot be managed by other means, external or internal urine collecting devices may be useful. Condom catheters have been used for men, but analogous external collection devices for women are not widely available. Long-term urethral catheterization causes a dynamic polymicrobial bacteriuria that may be complicated by ...

Technique and Catheters

Cardiology Clinics, 2009
This article reviews the current technique of coronary angiography, focusing on the choice of arterial access site; navigation from the arterial access site to the ascending thoracic aorta; cannulation of the native coronary arteries in their normal, variant, and anomalous locations; and cannulation of saphenous vein and arterial graft conduits.

Catheter ablation

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1991
Catheter ablation is gaining increasing interest for the therapy of symptomatic, sustained arrhythmias of various origins. The scope of this review is to give an overview of the biophysical aspects and major characteristics of some of the most widely used energy sources in catheter ablation, e.g., the discharge of conventional defibrillators, modified

Catheter Thrombosis

Seminars in Dialysis, 2001
Catheter malfunction due to poor flow is a common problem. When it occurs early, the cause is generally technical. Late occurrences are most often related to thrombus formation. Several types of thrombus may be seen, differing by location and supposed mechanism of formation. The most common offender, however, is the fibrin sheath thrombus.

The Decoy Catheter

Journal of Urology, 1990
A decoy catheter can prevent traumatic indwelling catheter removal in patients with altered mental status who require temporary bladder drainage. We illustrate the technique in a demented patient who underwent transurethral prostatectomy.

Catheter embolism

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1988
With the increasing utilization of intravenous catheters, complications from their use may be anticipated. We report the case of one such complication, a venous catheter fragment embolization. A review of the literature addressing catheter embolization is provided. Specific recommendations are offered to the emergency physician in an effort to minimize

Hemodialysis Catheters

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, 2005
Abstract:  As a busy dialysis and apheresis unit and a referral center for vascular access, we had 850 hemodialysis catheter insertions in 2004, and >16 000 since 1976. According to data from literature and our experience, insertion should be guided by real‐time ultrasonography whenever possible.
