Question: Context: The goals of this study were to evaluate the complication rate for intraoperative placement of a long-term central venous catheter (CVC) using intraoperative ultrasound (US) and fluoroscopy and to examine the feasibility for eliminating routine postprocedure chest X-ray.', 'Retrospective data pertaining to operative insertion of long-term CVC were collected and the rate of procedural complications was determined.', 'From January 2008 to August 2013, 351 CVCs were placed via the internal jugular vein using US. Of these, 93% had a single, successful internal jugular vein insertion. The complications included 4 arterial sticks (1.14%). Starting in October 2012, postprocedure chest radiography (CXR) was eliminated in 170 cases, with no complications. A total of $29,750 in charges were deferred by CXR elimination.
Answer: This review supports the use of US for CVC placement with fluoroscopy in reducing the rate of procedural complications. Additionally, with fluoroscopic imaging, postprocedural CXR can be eliminated with associated healthcare savings.

Answer: Does image-guided placement of long-term central venous catheters reduce complications and cost?


Question: Context: Cyclosporine causes intrarenal vasoconstriction, which may account for its nephrotoxic side effects. Plasma levels of the vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 are increased after cyclosporine administration, and endothelin-1 has been shown to cause renal vasoconstriction. In this study we used in vivo microscopy to investigate the role of endothelin-1 in cyclosporine-induced vasoconstriction.', 'Hydronephrotic kidneys in decerebrate rats were suspended in an environmentally controlled tissue bath with neurovascular supply intact. Interlobular, afferent, and efferent arteriolar diameters and flow were measured by videomicroscopy and Doppler velocimetry. Cyclosporine was added to the tissue bath, and measurements were repeated for 60 minutes. In study groups endogenous endothelin-1 was blocked by infusion of either specific endothelin antiserum or an endothelin-1 receptor antagonist.', 'Cyclosporine caused constriction of the interlobular artery by 20% +/- 2% and a corresponding decrease in blood flow by 66% +/- 4%. The afferent and efferent arterioles constricted to a similar degree. This vasoconstriction was entirely prevented by infusion of either the endothelin antiserum or the receptor antagonist. The antagonist reagents alone had no effect on hemodynamic parameters or renal microvessel diameters.
Answer: The acute renal vasoconstriction induced by cyclosporine is mediated by endothelin-1. Endogenous endothelin-1 has little role in maintaining basal vascular tone.

Answer: Is acute cyclosporine-induced renal vasoconstriction mediated by endothelin-1?


Question: Context: To compare cuff pressures during nitrous oxide exposure in the new Microcuff pediatric tracheal tube (MPT) with ultrathin high volume - low pressure polyurethane cuff to a tube with a standard polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cuff.', 'With approval of the local Ethics Committee, 30 pediatric patients requiring tracheal intubation [tube size internal diameter (ID) 4.0 mm, or ID 7.0 mm) were included. Patients were randomly divided in three groups: A) MPT, baseline cuff pressure 20 cm H(2)O; B) PVC, baseline cuff pressure 20 cm H(2)O; and C) MPT, baseline cuff pressure set to sealing pressure. Anesthesia technique and ventilator settings were standardized. The time required for cuff pressure to increase to 25 cm H(2)O was recorded and pressure reduced to baseline. The number of gas removals required during the first hour was noted. Data are median (range). Groups were compared by the Kruskal-Wallis test (P < 0.05).', 'There were no differences between groups in patient characteristics. PVC and MPT cuffs inflated to a baseline pressure of 20 cm H(2)O were similar regarding the time to first removal of gas [A: nine minutes (4-24), B: eight minutes (4-46)], and number of removals required [A: four (2-6), B: three (1-5)]. In MPT with baseline pressure set to sealing pressure [10 cm H(2)O (8-14)] time to first gas removal and number of removals were significantly less (P < 0.05).
Answer: When baseline inflation pressure was set at 20 cm H(2)O, cuff pressure increased similarly in MPT and PVC tubes. When inflated just to sealing pressure, the MPT allowed a longer time interval until the upper limit of 25 cm H(2)O was reached.

Answer:
Does the Microcuff tube allow a longer time interval until unsafe cuff pressures are reached in children?
