Cardiothoracic ICU/anesthesia. Central lines! Ultrasound-guided procedures!

[TBS Zermatt @TBS_Zermatt]

From TBS25 in Zermatt, dynamic duo Ola Borgqvist & Robin Lunden show us how to move beyond basic central venous access. Achieve Seldinger Godhood and take your central lines to the next level. This is the way.

The https://t.co/lcTKGNYGf8 world tour of CVCs continues! We’re off to hold workshops at IAEM in Dublin. We’re free this evening so we’re doing a non-blinded study if Guinness tastes better in Ireland. Pub somewhere in central Dublin. Drop us a line if you want to join us!

The landmark technique for vascular access: R.I.P.

[Ola Borgquist @OBorgquist]

@LParedes7972 It’s useful to be able to perform all approaches, but I still prefer infraclav. When placing two lines in the same patient, one goes very low on the neck and one is placed in the subclav with infraclav approach

Pigtail drains for pleural effusion! There's no going back to large-borge chest tubes in my ICU.

New video! Periocardiocentesis under real-time, in-plane ultrasound guidance. Safer, quicker, more convenient. It's boss-level Seldinger-technique, not for the feint of heart, but attainable in the right setting, with the right plan and right backup.

Happy Friday!

@hraza222 @CritCareTime @derwuk @Manoj_Wickram @ross_prager Distal approach makes guidewire manipulation harder and the vein is more prone to collapse. Practice needle visualisation and thus avoid arterial puncture!

@BJAJournals @elisacwalsh @MGHanesthesia Lovely! Would highly recommend watching our Central Line Academy as well! https://t.co/9KBH80C2Fj

@doctorabouleila @critconcepts It's 2023. Landmark subclavians should be abandoned at all centers with US available. No patients should suffer from complications that are avoidable!

Easier if the guidewire is in the SVC!

[Ola Borgquist @OBorgquist]

@NidaQadirMD @NoCoughEng How about using the supraclav fossa view? It’s a game changer! No need for IR! https://t.co/yJBEnEk3yo @InterAnest

[InterAnest.org @InterAnest]

The supra-clavicular fossa view to confirms your guide-wire location, and allows for real time adjustments of CVCs. This is an awesome technique I use with EVERY line I place. This lesson is from our Central Line Academy https://t.co/riJbMtB8l4

[Ola Borgquist @OBorgquist]

@ProcedurePRIME Somewhat biased, but I recommend having a look at our video on the subject: https://t.co/1phhszw1Tk.

[Ola Borgquist @OBorgquist]

@ThinkingCC Totally agree! We’ve made a video on how to master in-plane needling. Would love feedback and comments/discussion! https://t.co/OyHUp5wVXd

[InterAnest.org @InterAnest]

When placing a CVC, you have to wager-your-firstborn-sure that you've correctly identified the vein and the artery. Here's how to, from our Central Line Academy. https://t.co/KinJQOFt14

[InterAnest.org @InterAnest]

We've made a video demonstrating awake tracheal intubation using a bronchoscope, following the guidelines drawn up by @dasairway. Enjoy! Share! Comments? What's your best tips that we missed that we can include in a follow-up? https://t.co/uarcUdKkMk

[Ola Borgquist @OBorgquist]

@MauraWalshEMCCM I can’t see why you’d have to hold the guidewire unless the patient is on ECMO. Btw, have a look at our Central Line Academy: https://t.co/9KBH80TDwR
