Embolization of hydrophilic catheter coating to the lungs: report of a case mimicking granulomatous vasculitis.

30 Oct 2009 Hydrophilic coatings are used on intravascular devices to facilitate ease of manipulation and to minimize complications such as thrombosis during a procedure and vasospasm after a procedure. We report a case of embolization of hydrophilic coating of ... Read more...

When drugs disappear from the patient: elimination of intravenous medication by hemodiafiltration.

30 Oct 2009 Twenty-three hours after heart transplantation, life-threatening acute right heart failure was diagnosed in a patient requiring continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF). Increasing doses of catecholamines, sedatives, and muscle relaxants ... Read more...

An in vitro analysis of central venous drug delivery by continuous infusion: the effect of manifold design and port selection.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Central venous catheters are used extensively in anesthesia and critical care. Multiport manifolds allow for simultaneous administration of multiple medication infusions into a common central venous catheter lumen. The structures of such ... Read more...
