Microchip Technology Inc. has introduced 15 new PIC microcontrollers, 8-bit devices with a range of pinouts and memory options. The 16F and 18F families all feature USB 2.0 interfaces, with internal ...
The placement of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) routinely incorporates tip position confirmation using standard radiographs. In this study, we sought to determine whether real-time ...
September 14, 2010 — The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for an antimicrobial, pressure-injectable, peripherally inserted central catheter (ArrowEvolution PICC; ...
It is the position of the Board of Nursing that a registered nurse may insert and remove Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC) lines upon order of a licensed physician and that the procedure ...
Our objective was to safely reduce the number of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) inserted in infants with umbilical venous catheter using quality improvement methods. In a tertiary ...
PICC lines should be removed quickly when they are no longer needed and should only be used when peripheral heplocks aren’t practical given the clinical scenario.” — Greg Vigna, MD, JD SANTA BARBARA , ...
The origination of the central venous catheter technique is attributed to Werner Forrsmann in 1929, who won a Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1956 for his idea of delivering a drug directly into the heart ...
If a procedure has been shifted from the physician to the nurse, can informed consent then be obtained by the nurse, or does that responsibility remain with the ordering physician? One facility, by ...
Microchip’s PIC32 microcontroller family brings 32-bit processing options to the PIC line of processors. Microchip based the processors on the upgraded MIPS32 M4K core, and they maintain compatibility ...
