Ultrasound Guided Vascular Access: Practical Solutions to Bedside Clinical Challenges

This casebook covers ultrasound guided vascular access with a focus on patient safety. Vascular access is the catalyst between provider and patient. Initially, patients were treated at hospitals for grave illnesses or terrible accidents; however, due to significant strides in medicine, the emerging hospitalized patient is now more commonly treated for chronic illnesses. For these patients, repeated hospital visits slowly deplete their vasculature, creating one of modern medicine’s greatest obstacles: vascular access. This book provides safe solutions to bedside clinical challenges from peripheral to tunneled central lines in the neonatal, pediatric, and adult patient populations. Chapters present unique patient cases, incorporating the latest technology and techniques for safely and methodically meeting vascular access challenges, detailed discussions on therapeutic interventions, and trouble shooting. The book is structured so that each chapter builds on the last, offering peripheral, central, and tunneled catheter solutions through a standardized approach. Finally, each part features a COVID-19 case study including vascular access performed in the prone position. This is an ideal guide for trainees, students, clinicians, and healthcare professionals performing ultrasound guided vascular access on patients.
本病例手册涵盖超声引导下血管通路，重点关注患者安全。血管通路是提供者和患者之间的催化剂。最初，患者因严重疾病或可怕事故在医院接受治疗;然而，由于医学的重大进步，新兴住院患者现在更常接受慢性病治疗。对于这些患者来说，反复的医院就诊会慢慢耗尽他们的脉管系统，造成现代医学的最大障碍之一：血管通路。本书为新生儿、儿科和成人患者群体从外周到隧道式中心插管的床旁临床挑战提供了安全的解决方案。章节介绍了独特的患者病例，结合了安全、有条不紊地应对血管通路挑战的最新技术和技巧，详细讨论了治疗干预和故障排除。本书的结构使每一章都建立在最后一章的基础上，通过标准化方法提供外周、中央和隧道式导管解决方案。最后，每个部分都有一个 COVID-19 案例研究，包括在俯卧位进行的血管通路。这是受训者、学生、临床医生和医疗保健专业人员对患者进行超声引导血管通路的理想指南。
