Insights

Splinting peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) in neonates did not extend its functional duration and had comparable complication rates. Further research is needed to determine optimal PIVC care strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Medical devices
  • Clinical interventions

Background:

  • Peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) is crucial for neonatal care.
  • Splint application is a common method to prolong PIVC lifespan.
  • Evidence on splinting's effectiveness in neonates is limited.

Conclusions:

  • The current evidence (Very low to Low Certainty of Evidence) is insufficient to recommend or refute splint application for PIVC in neonates.
  • Further well-designed randomized controlled trials are necessary to clarify the role of splinting in neonatal PIVC management.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

Intravenous regional anesthesia or the Bier block technique is used to anesthetize a specific limb or extremity. It uses exsanguinated or blood-drained vessels to transport local anesthetics or LAs to the peripheral nerve trunks. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictors like epinephrine is most commonly used for this technique. Other drugs used are prilocaine, ropivacaine, and chloroprocaine. Bupivacaine is not recommended for this technique due to its high cardiac toxicity.

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
