2020年10月9日 · A “sheath” or “introducer” refers to any line (arterial or venous) that contains a port allowing a proceduralist to “introduce” (hence the name) transvenous pacing wires, Swan Ganz catheters, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), intra-aortic balloon pumps, single lumen infusion catheters (“SLICs”), etc. The introducer lumen has a ...

Explore the characteristics of arterial and venous sheaths, the monitoring of sheathed patients, and potential sheath complications.

2024年8月21日 · Despite technological advancements and improved techniques, these devices necessitate large-bore (≥12 French) arterial/venous sheaths, posing a significant risk of bleeding and vascular complications, whose occurrence has been related to an increase in …

Explore the full list of Introducer Sheath products and accessories. Standard introducers for both diagnostic and interventional catheterizations. Standard and specialty introducers for a wide range of procedure types. Standard Introducers. Short Lengths. Large Diameters.

2023年6月13日 · Central venous access is a commonly performed procedure to place central venous catheters and facilitate other venous interventions and device insertions, including the following: pulmonary artery catheters, plasmapheresis catheters, hemodialysis catheters, extracorporeal life support cannulas, inferior vena cava filters, and intracardiac ...

Peel-away sheaths facilitated venous access via seldinger technique and helped popularize punctured venous access for pacing. Once the guide-wire is in place (venous system), the sheath is glided along the guide wire into the vein.

Venous sheaths are required to perform Right Heart Catheterizations (7F sheath), Cardiac Biopsies (9F sheath) and a variety of right heart interventions (sheath size varies). 8.

2024年11月12日 · Femoral venous access also facilitates the introduction of venous devices (eg, inferior vena cava filter, pulmonary artery catheter, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannula, iliac venous stent). The initial selection of central venous access site and type of device are reviewed separately.

Staff nurses can safely remove femoral venous sheaths after a radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. Fewer and milder complications and shorter immobilisation times were reported with protamine reversal compared to the conventional method.

2020年2月21日 · For venous access, femoral and internal jugular approaches are most commonly used. Routine ultrasound imaging for vascular access has been demonstrated to increase the success of the first access attempt, reduce the number of attempts needed to gain access, and reduce access-site complications.
