A Manual Of Central Venous Catheterization And Parenteral Nutrition

This practical handbook covers the whole range of factors involved in total parenteral nutrition including patient suitability, contraindications, implementation techniques, and alternatives. It also takes into account the patient's opinion, body image, and lifestyle.

Venous access devices are necessary for any patient requiring repeated blood sampling, parenteral nutrition, chemotherapy, antibiotic therapy or other IV treatments to be delivered in the hospital setting or at home. In the last decade, ultrasound-guided PICCs and Midline catheters – inserted by adequately trained physicians or nurses - have suddenly and widely spread in the field of venous access devices all over the world. The introduction and diffusion of PICCs in Italy has been historically linked to the GAVeCeLT association (the Italian Group of Long Term Venous Access Devices) and particularly to the authors’ scientific and didactic activity. This volume examines the clinical indications for these devices and illustrates the details of their insertion and management in several clinical settings. Furthermore, all the specifications regarding the materials to use and all the aspects related to device removal and replacement, as well as the different strategies for complications prevention, are thoroughly discussed.

This new manual responds to the increasing interest in ultrasound devices which are designed to improve successful vascular access and to reduce complications, and to the continued usefulness of central venous access in a wide range of clinical applications. Manual of Percutaneous Central Venous Catheterisation 3rd Edition was conceived by Professor Michael Rosen, and is now written by leading experts in this field. New chapters devoted to the long term care of patients with central venous catheters by a leading practitioner in intensive care medicine New section deals with practical aspects of arterial cannulation Complete practical guidance for improving successful and complication-free access brought together in one volume
