Description
Summary:[...]comparing cannulation times with standard-length catheters and long catheters may not be an entirely appropriate comparison because the time requirements for cannulation procedures of long catheters include the additional times needed for aseptic technique, local anesthesia of cannulation site, insertion of guide wire via the initial catheter, removal of the initial catheter, insertion of long catheter over the wire, removal of guide wire, and fixation of long catheter with suture to the skin. [...]in the method, the authors stated that all US-guided PIC procedures were performed by nurses, attending physicians, or resident physicians, and all the operators received a suitable training on US-guided PIC.
