Описание: Central venous catheter (CVC) placement is the most frequently performed invasive procedure in pediatric and adult patients. The indications for a CVC include hemodynamic monitoring, administration of parenteral solutions, antibiotics, and parenteral nutrition, among others. The internal jugular, subclavian, and femoral veins are the most frequently used sites. Traditionally, vascular access is performed using anatomical guides; however, its effectiveness depends on the operator's expertise. The success of the anatomical guide procedure decreases as the patient's age and weight decrease or the patient has had previous catheterizations or abnormal anatomy. In addition, the risk of associated complications such as cervical hematomas, pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, or deaths are reported when using this technique. Ultrasound-guided Central Venous Catheter Placement is recognized by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (2002) and recommends ultrasound guidance as the preferred method for elective CVC insertion in adults and children. However, it has not yet become the standard due to a lack of training or adequate equipment (ultrasound). This innovative atlas intends to cover all the technical details of 11 types of vascular access in the pediatric age. It is richly illustrated with over 200 images. Atlas of Ultrasound-guided Central Venous Catheter Placement is a valuable book for medical professionals who perform vascular access in pediatric patients and a guide for anyone who wants to place an ultrasound-guided central venous catheter. It is a useful resource for pediatric surgeons, surgeons, anesthesiologists, pediatric emergency care, pediatric intensive care, neonatologists, pediatricians, and nurses.
Описание: This book reviews the history and evolution of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) as applied in various pediatric congenital heart surgeries, catheter intervention procedures and hybrid surgeries. The development of the pediatric TEE is described, including safety and efficacy data in infants and neonates. Practical insights of the use of TEE in cardiac surgery and catheter intervention are highlighted through actual case presentations with images and illustrations. Topics covered include TEE monitoring from pre-procedural planning, real-time assist during the surgery, confirmation of the intended results, as well as identification of residual lesions that require further surgical correction. This book will be a valuable resource for practitioners working in the field of pediatric congenital heart diseases surgery and interventional procedures where TEE plays a vital role.
