Ultrasound-guided arterial cannulation in the paediatric population
CONCLUSIONS: We identified moderate-certainty evidence that ultrasound guidance for arterial cannulation compared with palpation or Doppler auditory assistance improves first-attempt success rate, second-attempt success rate and overall success rate. We also found moderate-certainty evidence that ultrasound guidance reduces the incidence of complications, the number of attempts to successful cannulation and the duration of the cannulation procedure.PMID:36866968 | PMC:PMC9983299 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD011364.pub3 (Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews)

Ultrasound vs Landmark Guided Radial Artery Line Placement in the Emergency Department
The primary objective of this study is to compare ultrasound guided (USG) and landmark guided (LMG) radial arterial line cannulation by novice emergency medicine interns with respect to success. Secondary objectives include number of attempts, time to completion, and complications. (Source: The Journal of Emergency Medicine)

The Science of Extracorporeal Ultrafiltration: Introducing a Novel Miniaturized Device
Conclusions. This novel device allows to treat patients with fluid overload in a variety of settings, from low-intensity department such as long-term care facilities to the intensive care unit. The device is small and portable, has a simple design, and is user-friendly. Future studies will be needed to evaluate whether gentle ultrafiltration and treatment of volume overload will translate into improvement in clinical outcomes such as a reduction in congestion-related hospital admission.

International Survey of Perfusion Practice for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery: 2021 Results
J Extra Corpor Technol. 2022 Dec;54(4):291-317. doi: 10.1182/ject-2200012.ABSTRACTThe conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass in neonatal, infant, and pediatric patients continuously evolves as new devices and innovative techniques are introduced. Since 1989, periodic pediatric perfusion surveys have been conducted to ascertain practice patterns involving demographics, equipment, and perfusion techniques. The goal of this current project is to provide an updated perspective on international pediatric and congenital perfusion practice since the last survey conducted in 2016. In July 2021, a 100-question perfusion survey was distr...
