Words on Vascular Access
It's a RADIAL FIRST world in the cath lab. In the forth coming 6th edition of the Cardiac Catheterization Handbook, updated material including detailed descriptions on how the procedure should flow, what steps should be learned first, how to approach patients undergoing this often frightening test, being part of the cath lab team, and similar work matters are presented.
The most updated material is the vascular access technique in Chapter 2. Radial artery access has been strongly emphasized. The newest femoral vascular closure devices are briefly presented. Below are some of the pictures used to describe the recent Armend Glove sterile prep for radial access published in Cath Lab Digest May 2010.
