BACKGROUND: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) use for labeled and unlabeled indications is growing steadily. By use of a collaborative regional strategy, baseline IVIG usage and appropriateness of utilization were determined for Atlantic Canada. The effectiveness of strategies designed to optimize ...
These patients very often require some invasive intervention, the most common being the insertion of peripheral intravascular (IV) catheter for intravenous drugs or fluid administration. A global audit screened for the presence of a peripheral inserted venous cannula (PIVC) found that 59% of patients...
The high stiffness of intravenous needles can cause tissue injury and increase the risk of transmission of blood-borne pathogens through accidental needlesticks. Here we describe the development and performance of an intravenous needle whose stiffness and shape depend on body temperature. The needle is...

Evaluation Of A Central Venous Catheter In this paper, we will cover multiple things. I will cover what IV stands for, what peripheral intravenous catheters are and what they are used for. I will even discuss sites for peripheral IV’s. I will explain what a central venous catheter is, ...
The oral lower dose we administered (30 μg kg−1 day−1) is in the lower range for its intravenous application in humans56,57,58. We would expect that concentration of Mit-A that might be reached within the organism after oral administration was lower than that obtained with ...
The present invention provides an assembly of an intravenous cannula insertion device and an elongate needle protector, said protector comprising a slotted tube, a needle and needle hub, said needle hub comprising a protrusion extending through said slot to allow the needle and needle hub assembly ...
jugular vein using modified seldinger technique, when after venous insertion, the passage of the guide wire shows difficulties and donrsquo;t pass freely, insertion of an intravenous cannula over the wire and re-insertion of the wire can help to prevent malposition of the wire and the catheter....
1. An intravenous catheter insertion device for inserting a catheter sleeve with associated hub for providing medicinals to a patient comprising: (a) an insertion needle sized to be received concentrically within the catheter sleeve for insertion of said catheter sleeve along with said insertion need...
The present invention relates to intravenous catheter insertion devices which employ a sharp needle to introduce and emplace an intravenous catheter into a body vessel of a patient. The sharp needle e
