Indications for central venous cannulation in critically ill
patients have increased dramatically in recent years owing to the
use of more complex therapies unsuitable for delivery via
peripheral veins. The main drawbacks of central venous access are
morbidity and the growing scarcity of experienced operators.
Ultrasound-guided peripheral venous access offers a solution, in
that it reduces morbidity and can be performed by a dedicated
nursing team. The aim of this book is to teach the fundamentals of
this emerging technique. Advice is provided on the choice of
materials and on vein selection. The advantages and disadvantages
of peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICC) in
relation to other types of central venous catheter are discussed,
and the principles of use and practical applications of ultrasound
for venipuncture are explained. Maneuvers for PICC positioning,
techniques for the evaluation of PICC tip placement, and the
prevention, diagnosis, and management of complications are all
described in detail. Advice is also provided on the organization of
a dedicated PICC team within a hospital or a supportive care
program, and psychological, legal, and economic issues are
considered. Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheters will be
of interest to a wide range of professionals, including
nutritionists, oncologists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, registered
nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, physician assistants, and
radiologists.
