OBJECTIVES: Vascular access device decision-making for pediatric patients remains a complex, highly variable process. To date, evidence-based criteria to inform these choices do not exist. The objective of the Michigan Appropriateness Guide Intravenous Catheters in pediatrics (miniMAGIC) was provide guidance on selection, characteristics, and insertion technique clinicians, balancing contextualizing evidence with current practice through multidisciplinary panel experts. METHODS: RAND...
Product shortages and a lack of qualified providers to manage care may impact the safety efficacy parenteral nutrition (PN). This survey assessed frequency extent which limitations PN-related access affects patients.
Abstract Intestinal failure and the subsequent reliance on parentral nutrition through central venous catheters increases likelihood of a line-associated bloodstream infection. Antimicrobial lock solutions such as ethanol therapy are providing promising evidence ability to reduce This case study reviews use for pediatric patient who experienced 0 infections during 2-year time period covered by this report.
<sec> <title>UNSTRUCTURED</title> There are over 8 million central venous access devices inserted each year, many in patients with chronic conditions who rely on for life-preserving therapies. Central device–related complications can be life-threatening and add tens of billions dollars to health care costs, while their incidence is most likely grossly mis- or underreported by medical institutions. In this communication, we review the challenges that impair retention, exchange, analysis data...
