HEALTH SYSTEM IMPACT OF EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT-BASED VASCULAR ACCESS PROGRAM IN PATIENTS WITH DIFFICULT INTRAVENOUS ACCESS

Health System Impact of Emergency Department-based Vascular Access Program in Patients with Difficult Intravenous Access

Background: Ultrasound guided (USG) peripheral intravenous (PIV) access is a vital use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) that decreases time to access, reduces need for more invasive access, preserves vasculature, and improves patient experience.Objectives: We describe the impact of an Emergency Department (ED) based vascular access program with

In silico intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) for quality assured imaging with reduced intervention

Abstract In the clinical application of intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT), it is necessary to flush opaque blood during image lifestyle p2 portable oxygen concentrator battery acquisition.However, there are no specific standards for how to perform low-dose but effective flushing.In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and
