Insights

Retained fractured umbilical vein catheters are rare in critically ill neonates. This case highlights endovascular retrieval as the preferred method for managing these uncommon, fractured umbilical venous catheters in infants.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal intensive care
  • Pediatric cardiology
  • Vascular surgery

Background:

  • Umbilical venous catheterisation is a critical procedure for managing very low birth weight, critically ill neonates.
  • Fracture and retention of umbilical vein catheter fragments are uncommon complications.

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

Hemodialysis I: Introduction

Hemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. In this process, blood is filtered through a semipermeable membrane, allowing for the selective removal of waste while preserving necessary components like blood cells and proteins. Hemodialysis is typically performed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney...
