... guidewire was not visible in the central thoracic area. We screened the right shoulder and found the guidewire to the lateral wall of right side of the chest [ Figure 1a and b]. On reviewing the fluoroscopic image in detail, we realized that the wire was in the right thoracoepigastric vein [ Figure 1b and c]. ...

Introduction
Venous catheters inserted in superficial femoral vein and with mid-thigh exit site have emerged as a feasible and safe technique for central or peripheral tip’s venous access, especially in agitated, delirious patients. The spread of multidrug-resistant bacterial (MDR) strains is an emerging clinical problem and more and more patients...
Background
Cancer indeed represents a significant public health challenge, and unplanned extubation of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC-UE) is a critical concern in patient safety. Identifying independent risk factors and implementing high-quality assessment tools for early detection in high-risk populations can play a crucial role in r...
This study was aimed to explore the application value of ultrasound-guided peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) combined with predictive nursing in the treatment of large-area severe burns. 88 patients with large-area severe burns who visited hospital were chosen as the research objects. They were randomly divided into the observation grou...
