Talk:Central venous catheter

Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Central venous catheter.

PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles)
The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine.

Hi Veronica,

This webpage about CLABSI from CDC: http://www.cdc.gov/hicpac/BSI/01-BSI-guidelines-2011.html
This patient level page from MedlinePlus: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/patientinstructions/000474.htm OR (has images, although not great images..) https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/19861.htm
This page as IDSA has some guidelines which might be worth a look: http://www.idsociety.org/Other_Guidelines/

Student Edits

Hi All! I will be editing the "Central venous catheter" page for medical accuracy and understandability. My focus will be in the following areas:

Distractors:

The 13 Elements of Performance (EPs) to decrease CLABSI- not completely filled in and don’t think necessary
Information on quatitative blood cultures-what are they? Why was it mentioned?
Implanting ports: “Huber” needles-? Needed?

Inaccurate Citations:

1:doesn’t work (where a lot of the citation/medical use is from)
2:doesn’t give a direct link and is from 2002
4: doesn’t make sense
5: doesn’t work

Out of Date Information:

Re-ordering of medical uses to comply with why central lines are placed the majority of the time (right now CVP is #1, but not placed for monitoring CVP very often now)
Information from 2002

Haemodialysis

I work in the Renal ward of my local hospital and thought I should point out we use Internal Jugular and Femoral lines as temporary access, along with Tunnel Neck Lines (Sub-clavian) as a more permanent solution. This is usually until a fistula can be created as this has a lower risk of infection. Perhaps someone with more medical knowledge (i'm just a Health Care Assistant) could add to the page ?

Chlorhexidine

It's been known for some time that chlorhexidine is better than povidone-iodine tincture for cleaning. It now turns out that it can prevent 50% of all catheter colonisations - http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/167/19/2066?etoc ; we will need to mention this or some other study soon.

I've just added this to the text, under "Infection:Treatment". Please check if I have formatted the reference correctly. Thanks. --Kyoko 07:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NICE guideline

In the UK, people commonly refer to the NICE "guideline" on the use of ultrasound. The reference is:

National Institute for Clinical Excellence. Guidance on the use of ultrasound locating devices for placing central venous catheters. NICE Technical report number 49. September 2002.

This should probably be mentioned, although the evidence is present only in potentially difficult lines. JFW | T@lk 09:16, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ultrasound

Once again, in an emergency medicine setting only a single good study shows that ultrasound reduces complications doi:10.1136/emermed-2012-201230 JFW | T@lk 14:59, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

is THIS CVC?

fought a clip demonstration is this the CVC surgery? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.225.100.147 (talk) 15:32, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

CVC & CVP compare

CVC: central venous catheter
CVP: central venous pressure

So need to insert CVC before CVP can be measured  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Composcompos12 (talk • contribs) 11:34, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
