Technique of peripheral angiogram and complicationMai Parachy
The document discusses techniques for peripheral angiograms and potential complications. It covers operating room preparation including equipment such as needles, guide wires, sheaths, and catheters. Access site selection is discussed including the common femoral, popliteal, tibial, brachial, subclavian, and radial arteries. The angiogram procedure is outlined including artery puncture, sheath placement, guidewire insertion, catheter selection, contrast injection, and closure techniques such as manual compression or closure devices. Complications from the procedure are also mentioned.
This document discusses tunneled central vein catheters that are often used as temporary access for hemodialysis. It can describe where catheters are typically placed, including the right internal jugular vein, left internal jugular vein, and femoral vein. Complications of tunneled catheters discussed include malfunction, infection, and central vein stenosis. The goal of recognizing complications early is to prevent issues like inadequate dialysis or loss of the vascular site. Photographs in the document aim to help identify common catheter problems.
This document provides an overview and introduction to an atlas about dialysis vascular access. It discusses how dialysis depends on vascular access but it is often overlooked. The atlas aims to improve understanding of access anatomy and problems through images. It is intended for physicians, nurses and technicians involved in dialysis access care. The author thanks the groups and individuals who assisted with the project and hopes it leads to improved access care quality.
This document discusses central line placement, including:
1) It provides a brief history of central line development and discusses their increasing common use today.
2) Major uses of central lines include access for volume infusion, determination of cardiovascular function, and nutrition.
3) Potential complications include mechanical issues like arterial puncture or cannulation in 5-19% of cases, and infectious complications in 5-26% of cases.
Dr. Yashveer Singh discusses the history and techniques of shunt surgery. Key points include:
- Shunt surgery diverts cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain ventricles to another site to treat hydrocephalus. It has evolved from early 20th century drainage techniques to modern shunt systems using silicone catheters and programmable valves.
- Careful planning is required to determine the optimal insertion sites for ventricular and distal catheters based on patient history and anatomy. Meticulous surgical technique and attention to details can reduce complications like infection and blockage.
- The goals of shunt surgery are to achieve normal intracranial pressure and neurological function while
Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly used in critically ill children for medication administration, monitoring, and other purposes. The document discusses CVC insertion techniques and sites, including the internal jugular, subclavian, and femoral veins. Proper insertion involves strict sterility, ultrasound guidance when possible, local anesthesia, and confirming proper placement to avoid complications like bleeding, infection, and accidental arterial puncture.
The document describes the RUSH (Rapid Ultrasound in SHock) exam, a 3-step shock ultrasound protocol to rapidly evaluate patients in shock. Step 1 is evaluation of the pump (heart) using focused echocardiography to check for pericardial effusions, assess left ventricular contractility, and compare right and left ventricular sizes. Step 2 evaluates the tank (intravascular volume status) by examining the inferior vena cava size and respiratory changes, jugular veins, lungs, and abdomen. Step 3 evaluates the pipes (arteries and veins) for aneurysms, dissections, and deep vein thromboses. The goal is a quick bedside assessment of the cause of shock to guide initial
This document discusses vascular access options for hemodialysis in children, including peritoneal dialysis, arteriovenous fistulas, synthetic grafts, and central venous catheters. Peritoneal dialysis is generally preferred for neonates and small children due to its simplicity compared to hemodialysis. Arteriovenous fistulas are the best long-term option but have a slow maturation process and risk of failure. Synthetic grafts have increased infection risks and expected lifespan of only 3-5 years. Central venous catheters are used for acute cases but carry risks of infection and thrombosis. Patient size, vascular anatomy, and dialysis needs must all be considered to determine the most appropriate access.
The document provides an overview of cisternography, a radiological procedure to identify the location of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. It discusses the anatomy of CSF cisterns in the brain, indications for cisternography including traumatic and non-traumatic CSF leaks, contraindications, and the procedure which involves a lumbar puncture to inject contrast followed by imaging. Patient preparation, consent, and post-procedure care are also outlined.
The document discusses the history and technique of transseptal puncture (TSP). It describes how TSP provides direct access to the left atrium and has become a routine skill for electrophysiologists performing procedures like atrial fibrillation ablation. The technique involves using a Brockenbrough needle and Mullins sheath inserted via the femoral or jugular vein to puncture the interatrial septum, usually at the fossa ovalis. Landmarks, equipment, steps of the procedure, challenges, and complications are reviewed in detail. The summary emphasizes the importance and increasing use of TSP as well as reviews key aspects of the technique and potential complications.
Bedside Ultrasound in Neurosurgery Part 1/3Liew Boon Seng
This document provides an overview of ultrasound training in neurosurgery. It introduces various applications of ultrasound in neurosurgery such as fetal neurosonograms, cranial ultrasonography of newborns, assessing ventricular shunt patency, spinal ultrasound in infants, and transcranial insonation of blood vessels. It also summarizes techniques for different types of Doppler imaging and discusses pathologies that can be detected using ultrasound like intraventricular hemorrhage.
Recent advances in interventional pediatric cardiology include improving existing techniques such as atrial septal defect closure and balloon valvuloplasty, developing new methods like percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement, and exploring hybrid procedures combining surgery and catheterization. New devices now allow closure of defects that were previously not suitable for catheter procedures. Stenting has expanded the options for treating lesions like coarctation of the aorta. Overall, interventional techniques are helping manage more complex congenital heart disease with less invasive approaches.

Cardio-cerebral resuscitation is a new approach for treating patients experiencing primary cardiac arrest that emphasizes minimizing interruptions to chest compressions, passive ventilation, and early epinephrine administration. It has been shown to significantly increase survival rates compared to traditional CPR, which focused more on ventilations and allowed for interruptions in chest compressions. Cardiac arrest is a major public health problem, and solutions require accurately measuring the effectiveness of local resuscitation systems of care through data collection.
The document outlines parameters for reporting on the left ventricle based on echocardiography findings. It describes assessing and reporting on cavity size, wall thickness, ventricular mass, shape, systolic and diastolic function, thrombus, mass, and ventricular septal defects. Measurement of ejection fraction and fractional shortening are outlined for evaluating systolic function, and diastolic filling patterns are described for assessing diastolic function. The document provides detailed guidelines for documenting the presence, size, location and characteristics of any abnormalities found.
This document provides guidelines for reporting echocardiography exams. It recommends that reports contain three sections: 1) Demographic and identifying information about the patient and exam, 2) A detailed echocardiographic and Doppler evaluation of cardiac structures and measurements, and 3) A summary. The demographic section should include patient name, age, gender, indications for the test, and physician information. The evaluation section describes assessing structures like the ventricles, valves, and vessels and providing quantitative measurements when possible. Measurements of structures like ventricular size and function, valvular stenosis or regurgitation, and cardiac shunts are recommended.
This document discusses techniques for coronary angiography including cannulating coronary arteries and grafts, angiographic views, and interpreting angiograms. Key points include different techniques for cannulating the left and right coronary arteries as well as grafts like saphenous veins and internal mammary arteries. Common angiographic views are described for visualizing different coronary segments. The document also covers quantitatively and visually assessing coronary narrowings and diagnosing coronary spasm.
This document discusses procedures for achieving hemostasis after vascular access procedures. It describes applying gentle pressure to the puncture site when removing catheters and sheaths. Firm pressure should then be applied for 15-30 minutes to achieve manual hemostasis. Adhesive bandages can then be used to cover the wound. Vascular closure devices can also help achieve hemostasis more quickly and allow for earlier ambulation. Protamine may be given to reverse heparin effects before sheath removal if needed. Precautions are discussed for patients receiving insulin. Radial access hemostasis involves using a pressurized bracelet over the puncture site.
Beta-blockers are a class of drugs that are used to manage various cardiac conditions by blocking the effects of epinephrine and other stress hormones on beta receptors. They were first developed in the 1950s and revolutionized cardiology. Beta-blockers are indicated for conditions like hypertension, arrhythmias, heart attack, and glaucoma. While they provide important benefits, they can also cause adverse effects like fatigue, dizziness, and bronchospasm. Different beta-blockers have varying levels of selectivity for beta-1 versus beta-2 receptors and some have additional alpha-blocking properties. Guidelines provide recommendations on the appropriate use of specific beta-blockers for different cardiac indications.
This study assessed the severity of mitral stenosis before and after percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) using the mitral leaflet separation (MLS) index. 275 patients undergoing PTMC were evaluated clinically and via echocardiography before and after the procedure. Before PTMC, a good correlation was observed between mitral valve area (MVA) measurements and MLS index. Post-PTMC, MVA increased significantly while MLS index also increased and continued to correlate well with MVA. The study concludes that MLS index can be used as a complementary method to assess mitral stenosis severity both before and after PTMC.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

3. History
• First Cardiac catheterization –
▫ According to Andre Cournand, it was first performed by Claude
Bernard in 1844, in a horse, both rt and lt ventrilces were
entered by retrograde approach from the jugular vein and
carotid artery
▫ Werner Forssmann is credited with performing the
first cardiac catheterization of a living person
himself, at the age of 25 yrs
• Forssmann for his contribution and foresight shared
the Nobel Prize in Medicine with Andre Cournand and
Dickinson Richards in 1956
4. History
• 1929- Dr. Warner
Forssman proven that
right heart catheterization
is possible in humans
• 1964- Dr. Bradley
introduced small
diagnostic catheter
• 1970- Balloon Flotation

Swan and William Ganz
5.
6. Technique for vascular access:
The true “Seldinger™ technique” is not used
for percutaneous puncture into vessels.
7. Vascular Sheath
Percutaneous introduction and then the use of an
indwelling vascular sheath in vessels is the standard
technique for catheterization of pediatric and congenital
heart patients.
Ideal sheath should have:
1. Dilator
1. long, fine and smoothly tapered tip.
2. inner lumen of the dilator tip should tightly fit over the guide wire
3. tip of the dilator should have a smooth, fine transitional taper onto
the surface of the wire.
2. female Lure™ lock connecting hub at the proximal end
3. back-bleed valve
4. Lateral tube / flush port
8. Vascular Sheath
When introduced from the inguinal area, the sheath should be long enough to
extend into the common iliac vein.
In small infants a sheath into the femoral vein should extend proximal to the
formation of the inferior vena cava.
9. Vascular Sheath
Ideal short sheath (7.5 cm long) for venous site –
5 Fr for an infant or child (<15– 20 Kg) and
7 Fr for a larger child or adult
Extra long sheaths (45 to 90 cm ) are used to –
1. guide catheters directly and repeatedly to an area
within the heart itself (biopsies, blade catheters),
2. for trans septal procedures,
3. to deliver special devices within the heart or great
vessels (stents, occlusion devices), and
4. for the withdrawal of foreign bodies from the vascular
system.
