Totally implantable port complications – Full Text

iv port

“Patients with a higher BMI were at high risk of developing implantable IV port-associated infections, which may be an independent risk factor for implantable IV port-associated infections” Xu et al (2022).

Nursing management of totally implantable port

iv port

“This consensus briefly describes the fundamental knowledge and operating procedures of TIVAD while focusing on the evaluation and management of perioperative nursing, the observation and treatment of complications, the operation methods, and precautions for maintenance of venous access, as well as health education” Xu et al (2022).

Implantable port catheter fracture

iv port

“Although the internal jugular vein approach was selected to prevent fractures caused by pinch-off syndrome, catheter fracture occurred in 8 patients(1.9%)” Hasegawa et al (2022).

Sedation during implantable port placement – Full Text

iv port

“Compared to general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, procedural sedation using propofol and S(+)-ketamine improves the postoperative emergence agitation right after the recovery of consciousness, and has advantage in shortening anesthetic recovery time for pediatric patients undergoing TIVAP implantation” Zhang et al (2022).

Migration of implantable port tip – Full Text
