Filter by:Objective: To evaluate color Doppler flow ultrasound compared to standard clinical techniques, to detect the correct position of peripheral intravenous catheters in adult surgical patients. Methods: A prospective study is conducted in adult (>18 years old) patients scheduled to undergo elective surgery. Peripheral intravenous catheter position is evaluated with standard clinical techniques (free flow of fluid from a hanging bag, easy saline injection, and aspiration of blood), and with color flow Doppler ultrasound proximal to the insertion site. Comparative test performance is carried out.
The purpose of this study to to monitor the peripheral intravenous (PIV) site on subjects receiving continuous IV fluids for infiltration and extravasation events. Infiltration is an indication that the PIV is leaking fluids outside of the vascular system. The study hypothesis is to demonstrate that changes in the optical signals of the non-invasive monitoring medical device will detect infiltration and extravasation events.
Vascular access in patients carries a significant risk of accidental extravasation of intravenous (IV) fluids and medications with the potential for tissue injury. This prospective controlled study assessed the diagnostic utility of using intravenous diluted sodium bicarbonate to confirm placement of IV catheters in volunteers . Diluted sodium bicarbonate or 0.9% normal saline, will be injected in a randomized order while end-tidal carbon dioxide in the exhaled air will be monitored. The investigators hypothesize that the injected bicarbonate will dissolve into carbon dioxide and water and cause a transient increase in the measured exhaled CO2. The effect is unique to bicarbonate and will not appear once normal saline is injected. the safety of the administration of bicarbonate on the metabolic profile of the volunteers will be assessed by measurement of venous blood pH and electrolytes.
The purpose of this study is - To prevent progression of a lesion caused by anthracycline extravasation into necrosis, which would require surgical intervention - To prevent development of deep tissue necrosis and destruction leading to impaired limb function and neurological deficit - To prevent postponement of the scheduled cancer treatment due to the treatment of the extravasation
