Venous Thrombosis Related to Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2000
To determine factors that may lead to venous thrombosis in patients with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC).The medical records of 678 patients with 813 PICCs during 1997 were cross-referenced with all patients receiving venous duplex examinations (1,631) during the same time period.

[Peripheral venous catheter embolism].

Annales francaises d'anesthesie et de reanimation, 1998
The accidental embolization of peripheral venous catheter fragments seems to be a rare event. Removal of the catheter embolus is usually recommended, because of the high morbidity and mortality rates from sepsis, perforation, thrombosis and arrhythmias.

Fracture and Embolization of a Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheter

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1994
A case is presented of the fracture and embolization of a peripherally inserted central venous catheter. This novel complication is discussed in the context of patients in alternate care settings with emphasis on retrieval of the embolized catheter fragment, morbidity of catheter embolization, and precautions against inadvertent fracture in the home ...

Imaging of the complications of peripherally inserted central venous catheters

Clinical Radiology, 2009
Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) are widely used to provide central venous access, often in chronically ill patients with long-term intravenous access requirements. There are a number of significant complications related to both insertion and maintenance of PICC lines, including catheter malposition, migration, venous thrombosis, and line

Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheters

2014
Percutaneously inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) have become the standard of care for long-term vascular access, both for in-hospital patients and outpatients. Indeed, PICCs have gained increasing popularity in the critical care and perioperative setting in recent years.

Accidental cut of peripherally inserted central venous catheter

Intensive Care Medicine, 2010
Dear Editor, Peripheral central venous catheterization (PICVC) is a popular technique for maintenance of an intravenous line for longstanding duration, as it does not require specific skill and is devoid of serious complications such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, tearing of vessels, hematoma, etc.

Using thermography to assess complications of peripheral venous catheters

2017 IEEE 6th Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE), 2017
Peripheral venous catheters (PVCs) are the most frequently used devices in hospitalized patients. Healthcare providers routinely assess the PVC site for signs and symptoms of phlebitis and infiltration; however, the diagnoses remain uncertain. In this study, we examined whether thermography can be used to assess PVC site complications.

The use of peripheral venous catheter in chickens

Legal regulation in veterinary medicine
Among the methods that make it possible to obtain and evaluate biochemical indicators that characterize the direction of metabolism, the state of health and the course of the pathological process in the body, the blood examination occupies an important place. There are several ways to take blood in animals and birds.

Catheter dwell time and risk of catheter failure in adult patients with peripheral venous catheters

Journal of Clinical Nursing, 2019
AbstractAims and objectivesTo explore whether the risk of peripheral venous catheters failure remained constant throughout catheter use in adult patients.BackgroundPeripheral venous catheters, widely used in adult patients, may have a critical threshold dwell time associated with increased risk of catheter failure.DesignProspective, observational study.

Peripherally inserted central venous catheters and central venous catheters related thrombosis in post-critical patients

Intensive Care Medicine, 2010
Peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICC) have been proposed as an alternative to central venous catheters (CVC). The aim of this study was to determine the thrombosis rate in relation to PICC placement in patients discharged from the intensive care unit (ICU).Data of patients admitted to the ICU (Careggi Teaching Hospital, Florence, Italy;
