Vascular Access (Noble 273-291) Flashcards
Noble 273-291
What are the benefits of US use in a procedure?
More precise assessment of the vein and artery location, vessel patency, and real-time visualization of needle placement.

3 most common venous cannulation sites by US?
IJ, Femoral, and Peripheral venous cannulations.
What is the acronym NAVAL good for remembering?
The layout of the femoral triangle. Femoral Nerve, Artery, and Vein, Empty space, and Lymphatic.
What is the acronym NAVAL good for remembering?
The layout of the femoral triangle. Femormal Nerve, Artery, and Vein, Empty space, and Lymphatics.
3 most common venous cannulation sites by US?
IJ, Femoral, and Peripheral venous cannulations.
Where is the sternocleidomastoid muscle triangle?
It is where the sternal and clavicular heads of the muscle meet near the level of the larynx.
What is the acronym NAVAL good for remembering?
The layout of the femoral triangle. Femormal Nerve, Artery, and Vein, Empty space, and Lymphatics.
How can you tell if a vein is patent on US?
It will completely compress to a thin line with probe pressure. If they do not, a clot is present, and cannulation should be attempted on another vessel.
What is the probe choice for vascular access?
A high frequency (5-10 MHz) linear probe.
What are the two general approaches of US in vascular access?
Static and Dynamic.
US is used to verify the vessel location prior to using a standard external landmark-based approach is an example of what approach?
Static
US is used for real time imaging of the veniputure is an example of what approach?
Dynamic
What is a short axis approach?
A cross-sectional anatomy of the vessel is visualized
What is a long axis approach?
A longitudinal view of the vessel and needle.
