Why Bother?
Safety & Convenience
icg 2017
Case & Point
Icg/HMC cath lab
Access:
Radial artery
RIJ vein
Complication:
Pneumothorax
There is room for a safer
way to the right heart &
central venous system
This is no longer paid for in the United States

Venous System Access
Before entering the cath lab
Nurse Heparin LockIV Catheter (20 g)
+ +
Nurse places heparin lock in forearm for use in
the catheterization lab for venous sheath access.
• saves time
• improves cath lab efficiency
• fosters team building

Heparin Locks, Needles & Wires
Heparin lock on angiocath
Micropuncture needle
Micropuncture needle impaled in Heparin Lock
(remove both in block off field for sterility)
Wire holder
icg 2017
Try in cath lab ± tourniquet
Inspect arm carefully
Don’t forget the other arm
Floor nurses unable to get access?

Trouble Shooting
icg 2017
No Touch Technology
Use non-invasive (no touch) technology
to localize vein and its path for superficial
vessels
Uses absorption of hemoglobin to
localize vessels

Everyone has veins!
Trouble Shooting- No Veins
icg 2017
Sheath in But No Return Flow
Source: Hadaway LC. Nursing 2005;35(8):54-61
Vein: low pressure system that
collapses easily
As long as everything flushes & perforation is not
otherwise a concern, it is probably in the lumen
Trouble Shooting
Veins also have valves
icg 2017
Venous System: Typical Patterns
Radial (lateral) veins lead
equally to either Cephalic
or Basilic veins
Ulnar (medial) veins
usually continue as Basilic
vein
Chun et al. Radiology. 2003;226:918-920.
icg 2017
Upper Venous Junction
Cephalic vein joins the Axillary vein
at a T-Junction.
– Defines start of the subclavian &
central venous system
– Location most likely to cause
technical issues

Contraindications/Cautions
icg 2017
Summary
Finish with hemostasis just like removing an IV
Can replace sheath with large angiocath if needed
It is simple & extends the potential arm access
Learning both arterial and
venous techniques will make
you a better cardiologist

Thank you
