Difficult IV Access Patients
Manage episode 356919360 series 2323136
Gary Wakeford the CEO of SonoStik and Dr. Greg Schears MD a Pediatric Intensivist and Anesthesiologist join Judy Thompson and Blake Hotchkiss to talk about the challenges of Difficult IV Access (DIVA) patients. In this episode of the ISAVE That Podcast series we explore the challenging conditions that arise when we assess our patients and troubleshoot challenges in access. We’ll explore SonoStik’s solution to the challenging vascular access situation. As clinicians continue to experience more and more DIVA patients in their practice, we have to be mindful of vessel health and preservation as we approach these scenarios. We’ll explore concepts of ideal catheter length, catheter lie in vessel, catheter to vein ratio and techniques for improving success across different patient populations including pediatrics.
The Association for Vascular Access would like to give a special thanks to SonoStik for sponsoring this episode of the ISAVE That Podcast series!
