KEY ARTICLES


Vascular Access in Therapeutic Apheresis: Update 2013  

This review addresses the types of vascular access available for patients who need therapeutic apheresis, including peripheral vein cannulation, central venous catheters (including nontunneled and tunneled catheters), arteriovenous grafts and arteriovenous fistulas.


Long-Term Use of Antecubital Veins for Plasma Exchange  

Find out how the majority of patients who were free of serious systemic illness (other than chronic progressive multiple sclerosis) in a randomized clinical trial were able to undergo weekly plasma exchange for up to 20 weeks using superficial antecubital veins without the need to resort to more invasive methods of venous access.


Venous Access: A Practical Review for 2009  

Venous access is one of the most basic, yet critical, components of patient care. This review provides insight into the variety of options available for venous access.


Safety of Plasma Exchange Therapy in Patients With Myasthenia Gravis  

Review the results of a comparison study where data was collected from 42 patients randomized to PLEX treatment compared with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg).


Improved Care and Reduced Costs for Patients Requiring Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters: The Role of Bedside Ultrasound and a Dedicated Team  

Prospective quality assurance study to determine if a team dedicated to placing peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) would improve patient care and reduce costs.


Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Venous Access for Therapeutic Apheresis Procedures Reduces Need for Central Venous Catheters  

Physicians from the Houston Methodist Hospital performed a prospective review of patients undergoing inpatient and outpatient apheresis over a 3-month period to assess the benefit of ultrasound-guided peripheral venous access. Learn about their findings here.


Is Peripheral Access for Apheresis Procedures Underutilized in Clinical Practice?—A Single Centre Experience  

Study to establish the feasibility and suitability of peripheral access for different apheresis procedures, undertaken in elective or emergency settings.
