Umbilical Vascular Catheterization Placement of umbilical catheters is an important skill for the treatment of critically ill neonates. Catheters can provide vascular access for resuscitation, monitoring, fluid administration, blood transfusion, and parenteral nutrition. This video demonstrates the placement of both umbilical-artery and umbilical-vein catheters. Anderson J, Leonard D, Braner DAV, Lai S, Tegtmeyer K. N Engl J Med 2008;359:e18, October 9, 2008. |
Placement of a Femoral Venous Catheter A femoral venous catheter may be necessary when peripheral access to the circulatory system is compromised and no other sites for placing a central catheter are available. This video demonstrates the insertion of a femoral venous catheter and explains the indications and potential complications. Tsui JY, Collins AB, White DW, Lai J, Tabas JA. N Engl J Med 2008;358:e30, June 26, 2008. |
Female Urethral Catheterization Female urethral catheterization, the insertion of a catheter through the urethra into the urinary bladder to permit drainage, is a fundamental skill for the practicing health care professional. This video covers the indications, current methods, and potential complications. Ortega R, Ng L, Sekhar P, Song M. N Engl J Med 2008;358:e15, April 3, 2008. |

Central Venous Catheterization — Subclavian Vein The placement of a central venous catheter is indicated for the continuous monitoring of central venous pressure and for the delivery of critical or caustic medications. This video demonstrates one technique for placement of a catheter in the subclavian vein and considers how to avoid potential complications. Braner DAV, Lai S, Eman S, Tegtmeyer K. N Engl J Med 2007;357:e26, December 13, 2007. |
Positive-Pressure Ventilation with a Face Mask and a Bag-Valve Device Providing positive-pressure ventilation with a face mask and a bag-valve device can be a lifesaving maneuver. Although seemingly simple, the technique requires an understanding of the airway anatomy, the equipment, and the indications. This video demonstrates the equipment and technique used to provide positive-pressure ventilation with a face mask and a bag-valve device. Ortega R, Mehio AK, Woo A, Hafez DH. N Engl J Med 2007;357:e4, July 26, 2007. |
Central Venous Catheterization The placement of a central venous line is an essential technique in the treatment of many hospitalized patients. This video demonstrates the placement of a central venous catheter in the internal jugular vein and considers complications and how to avoid them. Graham AS, Ozment C, Tegtmeyer K, Lai S, Braner DAV.
