Use of central venous catheter and increased risk of ischemic stroke
This study is on fresh ground on the issue of CVC and stroke complications and has the potential to serve as a guide and stimulus for future research. We propose two fundamental strategies to reduce ri sks of stroke associated to CVC that should be evaluated: (i) the implementation of local prevention bundles and (ii) the use of ultrasound scanning for catheter surveillance.5 Based on the authors ’ observations, we further propose that can we create sub-groups of patients, i.e. who were required CVC placement having risk factors to develop stroke vs. patients not having risk factors to develop stroke. This can help us to...

Central venous catheter use increases ischemic stroke risk: a nationwide population-based study
ConclusionCVC placement increases ischemic stroke risk, particularly in those aged ≤35 years; this trend warrants further investigation.

Analysis of risk factors and prognosis of post-stroke pulmonary infection in integrated ICU.
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of pulmonary infection after stroke in the integrated ICU is high, and it is easy to be complicated with sepsis, prolonging the mechanical ventilation time, central venous catheter indwelling time and hospitalization time, and the prognosis of long-term neurological function is relatively poor. The definition of stroke-associated pneumonia has implications for the classification of clinical infections, the prediction of possible pathogenic pathogens, and the guidance of anti-infective treatment.

Iatrogenesis imperfecta: stroke caused by accidental carotid artery catheterization.
CONCLUSION:: Even with ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization, it is essential to remain vigilant for the early detection of vascular complications. Clinical suspicion combined with diagnostic modalities such as chest radiograph, transduction and manometry can increase the detection rates. PMID: 25041919 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The comparison between stroke volume variation and filling pressure as an estimate of right ventricular preload in patients undergoing renal transplantation
Conclusions This study confirmed the theoretical framework of right ventricular preload and ventricular filling pressure and respiratory variation of stroke volume. The result also suggests that SVV can correctly predict preload status compared to pressure-based indices.

An exploratory descriptive cohort study of 90-day prognosis after acute ischaemic stroke with mechanical thrombectomy
CONCLUSION: Almost half of the surviving patients had a poor prognosis. In our country, this surgery and rehabilitation impose a significant financial burden that needs to be addressed. However, the longer length of hospital stay and higher costs at discharge may be contributing factors to worse outcomes. The outcomes of comprehensive nursing assessment of the patients, including nursing needs, activities of daily living, and neurological function, can predict their outcome.IMPACT STATEMENT: We recommend a comprehensive nursing assessment at discharge that predicts patient outcomes and can be used for subsequent targeted i...

Electrical velocimetry for noninvasive cardiac output and stroke volume variation measurements in dogs undergoing cardiovascular surgery
Conclusions and clinical relevanceIn dogs undergoing cardiovascular surgery, EV provided accurate CO measurements compared with CIPAC, although its trending ability was poor. Further, SVV by EV, but not CVP, reliably predicted fluid responsiveness during mechanical ventilation in dogs.

Paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale from central venous catheter thrombosis: A potential cause of stroke
Paradoxical embolism refers to a potential condition in which an embolus arising from a venous source crosses into the systemic circulation through a right-to-left cardiac shunt causing an arterial embolism.A 39-year-old woman carrier of a central venous catheter (CVC) without evident risk factors for stroke, developed an acute right homonymous hemianopia during hemodialysis. On neuroimaging, an infarct in the territory of the left posterior cerebral artery was demonstrated. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and a large fluctuating thrombus in the right atrium on the tip of the CVC, thu...

Multiple Stroke Syndrome Caused by Air Embolism Following Removal of a Central Venous Catheter.
Abstract The removal of a central venous catheter on a ward leads to a paradox air embolism in a 53-year-old male patient with an unknown ventricular septal defect. The patient undergoes sufficient cardiopulmonary resuscitation but suffers from a multiple stroke syndrome with serious neurological deficits. PMID: 33053590 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
