BACKGROUND: PICC is routinely inserted with assistance of ultrasonography and/or ECG navigation (RI- routine insertion). Only in a minority of patients the insertion of a PICC is difficult and fluoroscopic visualization with introduction of special guidewire is necessary for the success of the procedure (DI-difficult insertion). The aim of the study was to evaluate whether DI can be predicted and associated with a risk of complications during follow-up. METHODS: The study included patients who had a PICC insertion in 2022. The number of patients with RI and DI was recorded and the significance of selected parameters during insertion and the frequency of complications during 1 month follow-up was compared. RESULTS: About 1404 patients had successful PICC insertion in 2022, RI in 1360 (96.8%) and DI in 44 patients (3.2%). There was no significant effect of age, gender, selected vein, its size, insertion site, and tunneling on the course of PICC insertion. However the number of punctures for needle insertion was higher in DI. The complication rate during 1 month follow-up in DI was 9 (20.4%) versus 101 patients (7.4%) in RI (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: PICC insertion was successful in both RI and DI patients. Of the analyzed parameters, the number of needle punctures was associated with DI, and complications during the 1-month follow-up were more frequently noted in the DI group.

Kontext: Akutní končetinová ischemie (acute limb ischemia, ALI) je v dětské populaci vzácné, avšak závažné postižení s významnou celoživotní morbiditou nebo mortalitou. Zpravidla se jedná o posttraumatický stav nebo je příčina iatrogenní. Výsledky: V této studii bylo retrospektivně vyšetřeno 127 novorozenců s invazivním monitorováním hodnot arteriální krve na naší jednotce intenzivní péče v letech 2019–2021. Monitorování se provádělo na horních končetinách u 83 pacientů a na dolních končetinách u 44 pacientů. Akutní končetinová ischemie byla zjištěna u tří (6 %) pacientů s monitorováním dolní končetiny a u osmi (9 %) s monitorováním horní končetiny. Primárně se u pacientů provádělo zahřívání končetiny, infuze heparinu (10 μ/kg/h) i infuze perlinganitu (glycerol-trinitrátu) (0,5 μg/kg/h). Pokud to stav pacienta dovolil, neaplikovaly se vazokonstriktory (adrenalin, noradrenalin atd.). Všichni pacienti reagovali na farmakoterapii a konzervativní léčbu, takže ani v jednom případě nebylo nutno volit chirurgické řešení. U žádného pacienta ani nebylo nutno provést amputaci, protože se krevní oběh v končetinách postupně obnovil. Závěry: Časná a správně zvolená a provedená intervence může významně snížit mortalitu a morbiditu ALI, která se ve skupině novorozenců vyskytuje vzácně. Stále se ještě vyvíjejí různé strategie léčby a množství zkušeností je omezené. I když se zdá, že chirurgické řešení je častější u dospělých pacientů, pozitivních výsledků u akutní končetinové ischemie – vzhledem k technické obtížnosti chirurgického výkonu a odlišné základní patofyziologii dětské popul
Background: Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is a rare but serious condition that can cause significant lifetime morbidity or mortality in the pediatric population. It is usually post-traumatic or iatrogenic. Results: In the study, 127 newborns who were followed up with arterial monitoring in our intensive care unit between 2019-2021 were screened retrospectively. Invasive arterial monitoring was performed on the upper extremities in 83 patients and the lower extremities in 44 patients. Acute extremity ischemia was observed in three (6%) patients who underwent lower extremity monitoring and eight (9%) patients with upper extremity ischemia. Primarily, extremity warming, heparin infusion (10 μ/kg/h), perliganit (Glycerol Trinitrate) infusion (0.5 μg/kg/h) were applied to the patients. Vasoconstrictor agents (adrenaline, noradrenaline etc.) have been avoided in patients whenever possible. All of the patients responded to medical and conservative treatment, and no surgical treatment was applied. Amputation was not applied to any of the patients, and their limb circulations were gradually restored. Conclusions: Early and correct intervention can significantly reduce mortality and morbidity in ALI, which is rare in the newborn group. Management strategies are still evolving and experience is limited. Although the surgical approach seems to be more prominent in adult patients, positive results can be obtained in newborn acute limb ischemia with close clinical follow-up and medical approach due to technical difficulties and different underlying pathophysiology in the pediatric population.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and performance of PowerPICC catheters in a real-world setting. DESIGN: Prospective, observational, multicentre study. SETTING: Nine European countries, involving 14 centres. PARTICIPANTS: General patient population. INTERVENTION: PowerPICC catheter inserted by the clinician as standard of care with routinely collected outcomes followed through device removal or 180 days postinsertion. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOMES MEASURES: Safety and performance outcomes were assessed for PowerPICC, PowerPICC SOLO 2 and PowerGroshong PICC. The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of symptomatic venous thrombosis (VT), and secondary safety endpoints included phlebitis, extravasation, vessel laceration, vessel perforation local infection, accidental dislodgment and catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI). The primary performance endpoint was the percentage of patients whose PowerPICC device remained in place through the completion of therapy. The secondary performance endpoints included catheter patency, placement success in a single attempt and usability. RESULTS: The enrolled patients (N=451) received either PowerPICC, PowerPICC SOLO 2 or PowerGroshong PICC catheters. Across all devices, 1.6% of patients developed symptomatic VT, and CRBSI occurred in 1.6% of patients. There were no cases of phlebitis or extravasation and only three cases of vein laceration or vein perforation. The catheters showed high success rates in completing therapy (81.8%), maintaining patency (93.9%) and achieving successful placement in a single attempt (90.4%). Clinicians overwhelmingly agreed that both the guidewire and stylet (93.3% and 94.4%, respectively) were easy or very easy to use. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the safety and performance of PowerPICC catheters across diverse settings and patient cohorts in real-world hospital settings across Europe. The findings indicate that these catheters are safe and can be effectively used in the general patient setting and when inserted by a variety of clinicians. The low incidence of complications and high success rates further support the clinical utility of these catheters. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04263649.

BACKGROUND: Cerebral perfusion may change depending on arterial cannulation site and may affect the incidence of neurologic adverse events in post-cardiotomy extracorporeal life support (ECLS). The current study compares patients' neurologic outcomes with three commonly used arterial cannulation strategies (aortic vs. subclavian/axillary vs. femoral artery) to evaluate if each ECLS configuration is associated with different rates of neurologic complications. METHODS: This retrospective, multicenter (34 centers), observational study included adults requiring post-cardiotomy ECLS between January 2000 and December 2020 present in the Post-Cardiotomy Extracorporeal Life Support (PELS) Study database. Patients with Aortic, Subclavian/Axillary and Femoral cannulation were compared on the incidence of a composite neurological end-point (ischemic stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, brain edema). Secondary outcomes were overall in-hospital mortality, neurologic complications as cause of in-hospital death, and post-operative minor neurologic complications (seizures). Association between cannulation and neurological outcomes were investigated through linear mixed-effects models. RESULTS: This study included 1897 patients comprising 26.5% Aortic (n = 503), 20.9% Subclavian/Axillary (n = 397) and 52.6% Femoral (n = 997) cannulations. The Subclavian/Axillary group featured a more frequent history of hypertension, smoking, diabetes, previous myocardial infarction, dialysis, peripheral artery disease and previous stroke. Neuro-monitoring was used infrequently in all groups. Major neurologic complications were more frequent in Subclavian/Axillary (Aortic: n = 79, 15.8%; Subclavian/Axillary: n = 78, 19.6%; Femoral: n = 118, 11.9%; p < 0.001) also after mixed-effects model adjustment (OR 1.53 [95% CI 1.02-2.31], p = 0.041). Seizures were more common in Subclavian/Axillary (n = 13, 3.4%) than Aortic (n = 9, 1.8%) and Femoral cannulation (n = 12, 1.3%, p = 0.036). In-hospital mortality was higher after Aortic cannulation (Aortic: n = 344, 68.4%, Subclavian/Axillary: n = 223, 56.2%, Femoral: n = 587, 58.9%, p < 0.001), as shown by Kaplan-Meier curves. Anyhow, neurologic cause of death (Aortic: n = 12, 3.9%, Subclavian/Axillary: n = 14, 6.6%, Femoral: n = 28, 5.0%, p = 0.433) was similar. CONCLUSIONS: In this analysis of the PELS Study, Subclavian/Axillary cannulation was associated with higher rates of major neurologic complications and seizures. In-hospital mortality was higher after Aortic cannulation, despite no significant differences in incidence of neurological cause of death in these patients. These results encourage vigilance for neurologic complications and neuromonitoring use in patients on ECLS, especially with Subclavian/Axillary cannulation.

Limb ischaemia is a clinically relevant complication of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) with femoral artery cannulation. No selective distal perfusion or other advanced techniques were used in the past to maintain adequate distal limb perfusion. A more recent trend is the shift from the reactive or emergency management to the pro-active or prophylactic placement of a distal perfusion cannula to avoid or reduce limb ischaemia-related complications. Multiple alternative cannulation techniques to the distal perfusion cannula have been developed to maintain distal limb perfusion, including end-to-side grafting, external or endovascular femoro-femoral bypass, retrograde limb perfusion (e.g., via the posterior tibial, dorsalis pedis or anterior tibial artery), and, more recently, use of a bidirectional cannula. Venous congestion has also been recognized as a potential contributing factor to limb ischaemia development and specific techniques have been described with facilitated venous drainage or bilateral cannulation being the most recent, to reduce or avoid venous stasis as a contributor to impaired limb perfusion. Advances in monitoring techniques, such as near-infrared spectroscopy and duplex ultrasound analysis, have been applied to improve decision-making regarding both the monitoring and management of limb ischaemia. This narrative review describes the evolution of techniques used for distal limb perfusion during peripheral VA ECMO.

BACKGROUND: There are several types of LPC (long peripheral catheters) that vary in length, size, insertion method, and cost. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether ultrasonography can be useful for the selection of the suitable LPC in DIVA (difficult intravenous access) patients. METHODS: Based on the ultrasonographic examination, a long peripheral catheter was selected. A 6.4 cm LPC into a vein at a depth of up to 0.5 cm, a 8.5 cm LPC into a vein at a depth up to 1.5 cm, and a 9.8 cm catheter at a depth up to 2 cm using the cannula over needle method. A 12 cm catheter was inserted into the deeper veins using the direct Seldinger method. The catheter diameter was no more than 33% vein diameter. Dwell time and the number of complications of four vascular devices were recorded and compared. RESULTS: One thousand one hundred fifty-six patients, average age 76 years (19-102), 501 men and 655 women, were included in the study. Average dwelling time was 10 days (1-30), there were 136 complications (11.7%). A catheter 6.4 cm long was inserted in 346 (29.8%), 8.5 cm in 140 (12.1%), 9.8 cm in 320 (27, 5%), and 12 cm in 356 (30.6%) patients. There were no significant differences in dwelling time, rate, and type of complications among the four catheters used. CONCLUSION: Our results confirm that ultrasound examination can be useful for the selection of the suitable long peripheral catheter in DIVA patients.

Úvod: U dětského pacienta v paliativním režimu může být zapotřebí zajištění žilního přístupu, který lze využívat v domácím i v nemocničním prostředí. Narušení kožní integrity však může zvýšit rizika, která mohou dětského pacienta ohrozit i na životě. Cíl: Identifikovat a vyhodnotit rizika spojená s péči o centrální žilní katétry. Metodika: Identifikace a vyhodnocení rizik probíhalo pomocí analýzy FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) a brainstormingu. Výsledky: Rizika identifikovaná expertním týmem byla vyhodnocena jako významná. Ani nápravnými opatřeními není možné rizika zcela eliminovat, lze ale docílit jejich snížení na minimum. Závěr: K zajištění dlouhodobé funkčnosti centrálních katétrů je zapotřebí vhodné edukování pečujících a správně provedená ošetřovatelské péče.
Introduction: For a paediatric patient on palliative care, the provision of venous access may be required, which can be used in the home or hospital setting. However, disruption of skin integrity may increase the risks, which can be life-threatening for the paediatric patient. Objective: Identify and assess the risks associated with central venous catheter care. Methodology: FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis), expert team brainstorming. Results: The risks analysed were assessed as significant. Even corrective measures cannot eliminate the risks completely, but they can be reduced to a minimum. Conclusion: Appropriate education and proper nursing care are needed to ensure the long-term functionality of central catheters.
Katetrizácia artériového systému s následnými perkutánnymi intervenciami je spojená s určitou mierou komplikácií, najčastejšie v súvislosti s prístupovým miestom. Predstavujeme kazuistiku pacientky, u ktorej okrem prolongovaného uzatvárania prístupovej artérie bola hospitalizácia komplikovaná venóznym tromboembolizmom.
Catheterisation of the arterial system with subsequent percutaneous interventions is associated with a certain degree of complication, most often in connection with the access site. We present the case report of a patient whose hospitalisation was complicated by venous thromboembolism in addition to prolonged closure of the access artery.

BACKGROUND: Long peripheral catheter is 6-15 cm long vascular device. The aim of the study was to compare the frequency of complications of two types of long peripheral catheters with different length inserted in DIVA patients. METHODS: Under ultrasound navigation 2.7F 6.4 cm or 4Fr 12 cm long peripheral catheter was inserted. Complications of both long peripheral catheters were prospectively observed and their relationship to the patient's age, gender, selected vein, number of punctures and Barthel score system was evaluated. RESULTS: Ninety-three 12 cm and fifty-five 6.4 cm long peripheral catheters were inserted. Median of dwelling time was 8 days for 6.4 cm and 9 days for 12 cm long peripheral catheter. There were 17 (26%) complications in 6.4 cm (38/1000 catheter days) and 15 (16%) in 12 cm catheter (17/1000 catheter days), p = 0.04. The complications of both peripheral catheters were not associated with the age of patients, gender, number of punctures and selected vein for insertion. Unlike 12 cm catheter, the complications of 6.4 cm long peripheral catheter were significantly associated with the result of Barthel scoring system (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION: The frequency of complications was more common with 6,4 cm than with 12 cm catheter.

Cíl: Účelem této studie je určit účinek použití aplikace buzzy k analýze úzkosti a bolesti u dětí s rakovinou během infuze. Metodika: Toto je randomizovaná kontrolní studie zahrnující vzorek 53 dětí s rakovinou (ve věku 3-18 let), u kterých je plánována infuze. Studie byla provedena v dětské chemoterapeutické místnosti. Data byla získána pomocí dotazníku s biografickými údaji pacienta, aplikace buzzy a infuzní jehly. K měření bolesti a úzkosti byl použit nástroj Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale. Měření úzkosti u skupiny buzzy a kontrolních skupin bylo prováděno před a po zavedení, zatímco bolest byla měřena při zavádění infuzní jehly. Intervenční skupina dostala aplikaci buzzy 15 sekund před infuzí, která se dále udržovala po dobu 3 minut po bodnutí. K analýze dat byl použit T-test, pro stanovení skóre bolesti bylo použito párového vzorku T-testu a pro stanovení skóre úzkosti bylo použito nezávislého vzorku T-testu na úrovni <0,05. Výsledky: Statistiky ukázaly významný rozdíl p = 0,001 v úzkosti a bolesti mezi aplikací buzzy a kontrolní skupinou. Rozdíl v průměrné úzkosti ve skupině buzzy (4,37 ± 1,30) byl větší než v kontrolní skupině (2,24 ± 0,77). Mezitím byla bolest v buzzy skupině nižší než v kontrolní skupině, skóre bolesti bylo hlášeno dětmi, které také pozorovala sestra. Závěr: Použití aplikace buzzy během infuze účinně snižuje úzkost a bolest u dětí s rakovinou.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of using the buzzy application on the level of the anxiety and pain in children with cancer during infusion. Methods: This is a randomized control trial study comprising of a sample of 53 children with cancer (aged 3-18 years) scheduled to be given infusion. The study was conducted in a children's chemotherapy ward. Data were obtained using a patient biographical data questionnaire, the buzzy application, and an infusion needle. The Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale instrument was used to measure pain and anxiety. The measurement of anxiety in the buzzy and control groups was carried out before and after the insertion while the pain was measured at the insertion of the infusion needle. The intervention group received buzzy 15 seconds before infusion, which is further maintained for 3 minutes after stabbing. Data analysis was used T-test, pain score used paired sample T-test and anxiety score used independent sample T-test significant at <0.05. Results: Statistics showed a significant difference of p = 0.001 in anxiety and pain between the buzzy and control groups. The difference in mean anxiety in the buzzy group (4.37 ± 1.30) was greater than the control group (2.24 ± 0.77). Meanwhile, pain in the buzzy group was lower than the control group, the pain score was reported by the children and also observed by the nurse. Conclusions: The use of buzzy during infusion effectively reduces anxiety and pain in children with cancer.
