2021年7月14日 · Placement of an ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous line (USPIV) has become an essential skill for any emergency physician.

Knowing how to properly insert a Peripheral IV under ultrasound guidance can help minimize mechanical complications, help decrease the number of central lines needed, and reduce the time it takes to perform the procedure. Below is a systematic, step by step approach to placing an Ultrasound-guided Peripheral IV.

2019年9月19日 · New approaches, visualization techniques, and positioning to help optimize your next Ultrasound-Guided IV in the venously challenged patient.

2023年7月25日 · The technique can be used to localized vessels, fluids and air in many parts of the body. At least 150 to 200 million peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheters are placed each year in the United States, while up to 80% of patients receive a PIV during their hospital stay.

2024年7月2日 · Identify patients benefitting from ultrasound-guided intravenous access and demonstrate proficiency in recognizing anatomical landmarks crucial for successful placement. Differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate indications for ultrasound-guided intravenous access based on patient condition and clinical setting.

2022年1月13日 · Ultrasound-Guided Intravenous Catheter (USGIV) placement is a great skill for residents to know and utilize, especially for patients with difficult access and during resuscitation.

Vascular Venous Anatomy of Both Arms. Use the linear US probe to identify the cephalic veins over the lateral arm. This is the prefered IV site. If no suitable vessels are seen, investigate the veins in the antecubital fossa. Often the median vein can be found in this region.

2013年8月11日 · Called ultrasound-guided peripheral I.V. (USGPIV) placement, this technique reduces the number of unsuccessful attempts and ensures catheter visualization in the vessel. It can eliminate delays and frustration, and ultimately reduces the use of supplies and staff time. Adopted by many emergency departments, USGPIV can be used in many care settings.

Peripheral intravenous line placement is a common procedure in emergency medicine. Ultrasound guidance has been demonstrated to improve success rates, as well as decrease complications and pain. This paper provides a narrative review of the literature focusing on best practices and techniques to improve performance with this procedure.

2012年6月21日 · Ultrasound guidance enables visualization of veins that are not apparent on physical examination, resulting in fewer needlesticks, more rapid cannulation, and less discomfort in patients with...
