Implementation of central venous catheter bundle in an intensive care unit in Kuwait: Effect on central lineassociated bloodstream infections. An RCT comparing maximal barrier precautions (i.e., mask, cap, gloves, gown, large full-body drape) with a control group (i.e., gloves and small drape) reports equivocal findings for reduced colonization and catheter-related septicemia (Category A3-E evidence).72 A majority of observational studies reporting or with calculable levels of statistical significance report that bundles of aseptic protocols (e.g., combinations of hand washing, sterile full-body drapes, sterile gloves, caps, and masks) reduce the frequency of central lineassociated or catheter-related bloodstream infections (Category B2-B evidence).736 These studies do not permit assessing the effect of any single component of a bundled protocol on infection rates. Survey responses for each recommendation are reported using a 5-point scale based on median values from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Level 1: The literature contains a sufficient number of RCTs to conduct meta-analysis, and meta-analytic findings from these aggregated studies are reported as evidence. Prospective comparison of ultrasound and CXR for confirmation of central vascular catheter placement. Literature Findings. From ICU to hospital-wide: Extending central line associated bacteraemia (CLAB) prevention. RCTs comparing subclavian and femoral insertion sites report higher rates of catheter colonization at the femoral site (Category A2-H evidence); findings for catheter-related sepsis or catheter-related bloodstream infection are equivocal (Category A2-E evidence).130,131 An RCT finds a higher rate of catheter colonization for internal jugular compared with subclavian insertion (Category A3-H evidence) and for femoral compared with internal jugular insertion (Category A3-H evidence); evidence is equivocal for catheter-related bloodstream infection for either comparison (Category A3-E evidence).131 A nonrandomized comparative study of burn patients reports that catheter colonization and catheter-related bloodstream infection occur more frequently with an insertion site closer to the burn location (Category B1-H evidence).132. The average age of the patients was 78.7 (45-100 years old . Because not all studies of dressings reported event rates, relative risks or hazard ratios (recognizing they approximate relative risks) were pooled. Impregnated central venous catheters for prevention of bloodstream infection in children (the CATCH trial): A randomised controlled trial. Implementing a multifaceted intervention to decrease central lineassociated bloodstream infections in SEHA (Abu Dhabi Health Services Company) intensive care units: The Abu Dhabi experience. Of the respondents, 82% indicated that the guidelines would have no effect on the amount of time spent on a typical case, and 17.6% indicated that there would be an increase of the amount of time spent on a typical case with the implementation of these guidelines. Pacing catheters. Case reports of adult patients with arterial puncture by a large-bore catheter/vessel dilator during attempted central venous catheterization indicate severe complications (e.g., cerebral infarction, arteriovenous fistula, hemothorax) after immediate catheter removal (Category B4-H evidence)172,176,253; complications are uncommonly reported for adult patients whose catheters were left in place before surgical consultation and repair (Category B4-E evidence).172,176,254. This approach may not be feasible in emergency circumstances or in the presence of other clinical constraints.

This update is a revision developed by an ASA-appointed task force of seven members, including five anesthesiologists and two methodologists. Confirmation of endovenous placement of central catheter using the ultrasonographic bubble test., The use of ultrasound during and after central venous catheter insertion. 1), The number of insertion attempts should be based on clinical judgment, The decision to place two catheters in a single vein should be made on a case-by-case basis. Advance the guidewire through the needle and into the vein. These suggestions include, but are not limited to, positioning the patient in the Trendelenburg position, using the Valsalva maneuver, applying direct pressure to the puncture site, using air-occlusive dressings, and monitoring the patient for a reasonable period of time after catheter removal. ( 21460264) Transition to a PICC line for long-term central access. Trendelenburg position does not increase cross-sectional area of the internal jugular vein predictably. The purposes of these guidelines are to (1) provide guidance regarding placement and management of central venous catheters; (2) reduce infectious, mechanical, thrombotic, and other adverse outcomes associated with central venous catheterization; and (3) improve management of arterial trauma or injury arising from central venous catheterization. A neonatal PICC can be inserted at the patient's bedside with the use of an analgesic agent and radiographic verification, and it can remain in place for several weeks or months. The femoral vein is the major deep vein of the lower extremity. Insert the J-curved end of the guidewire into the introducer needle, with the J curve facing up. Release pressure but keep fingers in place over femoral pulse Insert needle at a 45 deg angle medial to femoral pulse If unable to palpate femoral pulse (and ultrasound unavailable): Palpate ASIS and midpoint of the pubic symphysis, imagine a line between them Femoral artery lies at junction of medial and middle thirds of this line A chest x-ray will be performed immediately following thoracic central line placement to assure line placement and rule out pneumothorax. Survey Findings. Studies also report high specificities of transthoracic ultrasound for excluding the presence of a pneumothorax.216,218,219,227229,232,233,236,238,240. When an equal number of categorically distinct responses are obtained, the median value is determined by calculating the arithmetic mean of the two middle values. There are a variety of catheter, both size and configuration.
