USE OF INTRAVENOUS ACCESS IN RESUSCITATION SITES, TECHNIQUES, POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS OBJECTIVES Overview Peripheral Venous Access Sites Techniques Potential Complications Central Lines Sites Seldinger Technique Potential Complications Venous Cutdown Sites Techniques Potential Complications OVERVIEW Minimum of two large caliber IVs (1416 Gauge) U/E peripheral IV preferred When establishing IV, blood should be drawn Avoid veins that drain from neck trauma, into an affected traumatic extremity, or the side of a chest or abdominal trauma U/E Peripheral IV - Anatomy Success of cannulation depends on knowledge of anatomy Antero-Radial side forearm – Cephalic vein Ulnar posterior forearm – Basilic vein –easily accessed if elbow flexed and cannulator stands at head of patient U/E Peripheral IV - Anatomy Antecubital veins – Medial Cubital, Basilic, Cephalic Easily cannulated – but restricted elbow motion Above elbow – larger Basilic and Cephalic veins – more difficult to see U/E Peripheral IV - Anatomy L/E Peripheral IV - Anatomy Dorsal venous arch splits into the greater saphenous vein medially and the lesser saphenous vein laterally Greater saphenous vein most easily accessible at the ankle, but may also be cannulated below the knee and below femoral triangle L/E Peripheral IV - Anatomy Greater saphenous vein passes 1 cm anterior to medial malleolus where it lies next to the periosteum L/E Peripheral IV - Anatomy External Jugular Vein Formed below the ear and behind the angle of the mandible, passes obliquely across the sternocleidomastoid, under the middle of the clavicle to join the subclavian vein Presence of valves Flow dependent on neck position External Jugular Vein Materials Required for Peripheral IV Line Insertion Alcohol pads Tourniquet Gauze Tegaderm Intravenous catheter 1-in tape ¼-in tape Gloves Inspection and Positioning Place a 1 inch tourniquet on the upper arm Palpate with index and middle fingers of nondominant hand Tourniquet Cannulation Clean site with Alcohol Stabilize the vein – position thumb alongside vein and pull down. Place index finger more cephalad and push upward Agiocath between thumb and forefinger of dominant hand, bevel up, angled 10-30 degrees, parallel to vein Cannulation When flash is seen, advance catheter a few millimeters more to ensure it has entered vein, not just wall Loosen stylet - advance catheter only Occlude vein at tip of catheter, remove needle, attach IV line, release tourniquet Blood samples may be drawn at this time Cannulation Securing the IV External Jugular Cannulation Place patient in Trendelenberg to fill External Jugular Rotate head to opposite side Align cannula in the direction of the vein with point aimed toward ipsilateral shoulder Puncture midway between angle of jaw and midclavicular line, lightly compressing the vein above the clavicle Complications - Peripheral IV Phlebitis Extravasation Nerve Damage Air Embolism Bruising Thrombosis Phlebitis Presence of palpable cord accompanied by warmth, erythema, tenderness, and induration Extravasation Infiltration relatively minor and common complication of IV therapy If infusions hypertonic, vasopressors or chemotherapies – risk of skin sloughing If dopamine or norepinephrine extravasates, phentolamine may be used as antidote – skin injected with small aliquots of 50:50 dilution Extravasation of Phenytoin Air Embolism Significant, but rare Symptoms of Chest pain, SOB, Sudden vascular collapse, Cyanosis, Hypotension If suspected, place pt in LLD with head and chest tilted downward Central Lines Subclavian Internal Jugular Femoral Subclavian Vein - Anatomy Continuation of axillary vein at outer edge of first rib Joins IJ to become innominate vein 34 cm proximally Valveless After crossing first rib, lies posterior to the medial third of the clavicle Anterior scalene muscle is posterior to vein, anterior to subclavian artery Subclavian Vein - Anatomy Phrenic nerve runs over anterior surface of scalene and immediately behind the junction of subclavian and IJ veins Thoracic duct (L) and lymphatic duct ®, pass over anterior scalene muscle and enter subclavian near junction with IJ Internal Jugular - Anatomy Emerges in neck deep to posterior belly of digastric muscle At origin, courses adjacent to spinal accessory, vagus, and hypoglossal nerves as well as internal carotid artery Tributary veins enter IJ at level of hyoid bone Internal Jugular - Anatomy IJ, ICA, and Vagus nerve course together in carotid sheath…..IJ is antero-lateral Lateral & slightly anterior to carotid Level of thyroid cartilage, IJ just deep to SCM Emerges from under apex of triangle of two heads of SCM Joins subclavian behind clavicle Internal Jugular - Anatomy Lower cervical region, carotid deep paratracheal location Brachial plexus separated from IJ by scalenus anterior Phrenic nerve anterior to scalenus anterior muscle Stellate ganglion anterior to lower brachial plexus Femoral Vein - Anatomy Just medial to the femoral artery below inguinal ligament Beneath lies psoas muscle and hip As progress more distal, femoral vein becomes posterior to femoral artery NAVEL Seldinger Technique Thin walled needle used to access vessel lumen Once introducing needle positioned in vessel lumen, guidewire is threaded through the needle and needle removed Wire serves as guide over which selected catheter placed. Seldinger Technique Introducing needle large enough to accommodate guidewire is attached to a small syringe. Needle and syringe introduced together When free return of blood, remove syringe, stabilize needle hub Cap needle hub with thumb to decrease risk air embolism A. Cannulate vessel Seldinger Technique Flexible end of guidewire threaded through the needle Wire should thread smoothly through vein without resistance If resistance met, remove wire from needle and reattach syringe to confirm intravascular placement If resistance to wire removal, wire & needle should be removed together Seldinger Technique If threading easily, advance guidewire until at least one quarter in vessel Once wire in vessel, remove needle Make small skin incision at site of wire. Incision should be width of catheter to be inserted and extend completely through the dermis B. Thread wire through vessel C. Remove needle D. Enlarge skin entry with #11 scalpel Seldinger Technique Stabilize guidewire at point of skin entry and thread dilator/sheath over wire until 1 cm from skin Before dilator/sheath enters skin, wire must protrude out back of dilator Wire must be grasped as dilator/sheath advanced If wire not protruding from prox end of dilator, pull at skin entry point E. Catheter sheath and dilator threaded over wire F. If prox wire not visible, pull from skin through catheter until out back H.
