Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of total 163 lung cancer patients who underwent implantations of a central venous access port for chemotherapy. 95 patients received the ports by the femoral vein blind-puncture technique and 68patients had the port implanted via the subclavian vein blind-puncture technique. The initial success rate of port implantation and the frequency of occurrence of complications were calculated. Results: The primary success rate of venous port implantation was 93.7% for femoral approach and 88.2% for the subclavian approach respectively (p < 0.05). Intraoperative complications developed in two patients (2.1%) in the femoral approach group and in five patients (7.4%) in the subclavian approach group. Although a higher intraoperative complication ratio for the subclavian approach was encountered compared to that for the femoral vein approach, there was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.103). Nor was there any statistically significant difference in terms of the occurrence of late complications. Conclusions: Venous access port implantation via the femoral vein approach is safe, and its success rate is very high, with the equal complication rates comparable to the subclavian approach. This approach avoids many of the intraoperative complications. Thus, the femoral vein approach for implanting a venous access port in lung cancer patients should be considered a valid, and safe technique.展开更多

The SCV catheter being misplaced into the internal jugular （IJV） vein is a common occurrence. The present study explores the influence of a misplaced SCV catheter on TPTD variables. Methods： Thirteen severe acute pancreatitis （SAP） patients with malposition of the SCV catheter were enrolled in this study. TPTD variables including cardiac index （CI）, global end-diastolic volume index （GEDVI）, intrathoracic blood volume index （ITBVI）, and extravascular lung water index （EVLWl） were obtained after injection of cold saline via the misplaced SCV catheter. Then, the misplaced SCV catheter was removed and IJV access was constructed for a further set of TPTD variables. Comparisons were made between the TPTD results measured through the IJV and mis- placed SCV accesses. Results： A total of 104 measurements were made from TPTD curves after injection of cold saline via the IJV and misplaced SCV accesses. Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated an overestimation of ＋111.40 ml/m2 （limits of agreement： 6.13 and 216.70 ml/m2） for GEDVI and ITBVI after a misplaced SCV injection. There were no significant influences on CI and EVLWI. The biases of ＋0.17 L/（min.m2） for CI and ＋0.17 ml/kg for EVLWI were re- vealed by Bland-Altman analysis. Conclusions： The malposition of an SCV catheter does influence the accuracy of TPTD variables, especially GEDVI and ITBVI. The position of the SCV catheter should be confirmed by chest X-ray in order to make good use of the TPTD measurements.展开更多

Subclavian venipuncture requires the position of a deep vein to be identified with only surface landmarks. But the traditional right subclavian vein (RSV) catheterization (primitive procedures) is not the answer for all patients. The precise location of the vein is not known, and it is important to select the most appropriate method to achieve central venous access safely in any given patient. To modify the primitive procedures of the RSV catheterization for greater success and reduce the complications, anatomic studies and ultrasonography were conducted and clinical applications were validated. Methods Anatomical observation and measurement of the RSV and its adjacent structures were performed on 20 adult cadavers according to modified procedures. The RSV catheterization of 2900 cases was carried out by the modified procedure, 500 of these cases were observed by ultrasonography after the operation. Results The anatomical studies and clinical application showed that the insertion point differs from the bodily form of fatness or leptosome. The clinical data revealed that in the 2900 cases which were performed with the modified approach, the success rate was 98.90% (2868 cases), the failure rate was 1.10% (32 cases), and the complication rate is 0.79% (23 cases), and the catheterization time is (31.2±10.5) minutes. Five hundred and sixty cases of the RSV catheterization were carried out by the recommended insertion procedure; the results were compared with the modified approach and the traditional approach. The successful rate of the traditional approach was 73.0%, of which the complication rate was 6.1%; the two approaches were significantly different (successful rate: χ 2=626.642, P <0.01; complication rate: χ 2=80.708, P <0.01). Conclusions The modified RSV catheterization is characterized with a higher success rate and less complications, and the insertion procedure differs from the bodily form of fatness or leptosome.展开更多

文摘Objective： The subclavian vein （SCV） is usually used to inject the indicator of cold saline for a transpul- monary thermodilution （TPTD） measurement. The SCV catheter being misplaced into the internal jugular （IJV） vein is a common occurrence. The present study explores the influence of a misplaced SCV catheter on TPTD variables. Methods： Thirteen severe acute pancreatitis （SAP） patients with malposition of the SCV catheter were enrolled in this study. TPTD variables including cardiac index （CI）, global end-diastolic volume index （GEDVI）, intrathoracic blood volume index （ITBVI）, and extravascular lung water index （EVLWl） were obtained after injection of cold saline via the misplaced SCV catheter. Then, the misplaced SCV catheter was removed and IJV access was constructed for a further set of TPTD variables. Comparisons were made between the TPTD results measured through the IJV and mis- placed SCV accesses. Results： A total of 104 measurements were made from TPTD curves after injection of cold saline via the IJV and misplaced SCV accesses. Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated an overestimation of ＋111.40 ml/m2 （limits of agreement： 6.13 and 216.70 ml/m2） for GEDVI and ITBVI after a misplaced SCV injection. There were no significant influences on CI and EVLWI. The biases of ＋0.17 L/（min.m2） for CI and ＋0.17 ml/kg for EVLWI were re- vealed by Bland-Altman analysis. Conclusions： The malposition of an SCV catheter does influence the accuracy of TPTD variables, especially GEDVI and ITBVI. The position of the SCV catheter should be confirmed by chest X-ray in order to make good use of the TPTD measurements.

文摘目的:分析超声检测下腔静脉(IVC)和锁骨下静脉(SCV)内径变异在预测全麻诱导后低血压(PIH)中的价值。方法:回顾性选取2021年5月—2023年5月在咸宁市第一人民医院行全麻手术的204例患者作为研究对象,根据是否发生PIH将其分为研究组(发生PIH,86例)和对照组(未发生PIH,118例)。对两组患者的基础资料、麻醉诱导前血压、麻醉诱导药物用量进行对比。比较IVC内径的最大值(IVCmax)和最小值(IVCmin)、SCV内径的最大值(SCVmax)和最小值(SCVmin),并计算IVC塌陷指数(IVCCI)和SCV塌陷指数(SCVCI)。采用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析IVC、SCV内径及变异对全麻PIH的预测价值。结果:两组基础资料、麻醉诱导前血压指标和麻醉诱导药物用量比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。研究组IVCmax、IVCmin、SCVmax、SCVmin水平均低于对照组,IVCCI、SCVCI水平均高于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。受试者操作特征(ROC)曲线分析结果显示,麻醉诱导前IVCmax、IVCmin、SCVmax、SCVmin、IVCCI、SCVCI水平预测PIH的ROC曲线下面积(area under curve,AUC)分别为0.674、0.675、0.618、0.707、0.895、0.905,其中,SCVCI的AUC和cut-off值下的敏感度均为最高,分别为0.905、65.12%。结论:全麻PIH患者可表现为IVC和SCV内径缩小及IVCCI、SCVCI等内径变异指标的增高,采用血管超声技术检测上述变异指标可辅助预测PIH风险。
文摘BACKGROUND Although the number of patients who need central venous ports for permanent vascular access is increasing,there is still no“gold standard”for the implantation technique.AIM To identify the implantation technique that should be favored.METHODS Two hundred central venous port-implanted patients in a tertiary hospital were retrospectively evaluated.Patients were assigned into two groups according to the access method.The first group comprised patients whose jugular veins were used,and the second group comprised patients whose subclavian veins were used.Groups were evaluated regarding age,sex,application side,primary diagnosis,active follow-up period in the hospital,chemotherapy agents administered,number of complications,and the Clavien-Dindo severity score.The distribution of the variables was tested with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Mann-Whitney U test.Theχ^(2) test was used to analyze the variables.RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding age,sex,side,number of chemotherapy drugs,and duration of port usage(P>0.05).Only 2 patients in group 1 had complications,whereas in group 2 we observed 19 patients with complications(P<0.05).No port occlusion was found in group 1,but the catheters of 4 patients were occluded in group 2.One port was infected in group 1 compared to three infected ports in group 2.Two port ruptures,two pneumothorax,one revision due to a mechanical problem,one tachyarrhythmia during implantation,and four suture line problems were also recorded in group 2 patients.We also showed that it would be sufficient to evaluate and wash ports once every 2 mo.CONCLUSION Our results robustly confirm that the jugular vein route is safer than the subclavian vein approach for central venous port implantation.
