Centrally inserted tunnelled peripherally inserted central catheter
“We evaluated the feasibility of centrally placed non-cuffed tunnelled peripherally inserted central catheter in the chest as an alternative to conventional peripherally inserted central catheter”
Ultrasound-guided arterial cannulation or by pulse palpation
“The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of US-guided arterial catheterisation with the traditional landmark (LM) technique in critically ill children” Oulego-Erroz
Vascular access guidewire entrapped in the right ventricle
“The guidewire was rotated anticlockwise with simultaneous soft pulls coinciding with the cardiac cycle. The guidewire was successfully and safely removed” Verma et al (2020).
Review of iatrogenic anaemia in adult intensive care

Risk factors associated with difficult peripheral venous cannulation
“This study intends to identify risk factors associated to the incidence of ‘difficult peripheral venous access’ in adults at hospital” Rodríguez-Calero et al (2020). Abstract:
Vascular access and hemodialysis session stability
“Bad runs were characterized primarily by cramping, low blood pressure (“crashing”), cannulation-related difficulties (“bad sticks”), and clotting of the dialysis circuit or vascular access” Kuo
Propofol infusion syndrome affecting critically ill patients
“Propofol infusion syndrome is a rare condition that mainly affects critically ill patients who receive high doses of this hypnotic for a long time” Subirà
Massive hemoptysis following cannulation of right internal jugular vein
“Here we report an extremely rare presentation of internal jugular vein catheterization, presenting as massive hemoptysis which was noted during right internal jugular vein cuffed
Midline catheter in patients for HPC collection by apheresis
