Idle peripheral intravenous cannulation: an observational cohort study of pre-hospital and emergency department practices

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2021
Background Unused ('idle') peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) are those not used within 24 hours of insertion. There is little data on cannulation practices and idle PIVC rates in emergency settings, especially the pre-hospital environment.

Vascular access today

World Journal of Nephrology, 2012
The number of patients with chronic kidney disease requiring renal replacement therapy has increased worldwide. The most common replacement therapy is hemodialysis (HD). Vascular access (VA) has a key role for successful treatment. Despite the advances that have taken place in the field of the HD procedure, few things have changed with regards to VA in

Needle-free connectors in tunneled central venous catheters for hemodialysis: A prospective single-centre safety and feasibility study

GMS Hygiene and Infection Control
Background: Tunnelled central venous catheters (t-CVCs) remain essential for hemodialysis when arteriovenous access is not feasible, but catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is a major risk.
