Abstract
Objective: To formulate an expert consensus on an evidence-based overview of all topics related to the Tunneled Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheters.
Methods: A Chinese consensus based on evidence has provided a definition and indications for Tunneled Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheters. The literature on Tunneled Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheter was reviewed from its inception to March 2024. The indications were developed using the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method.
Results: This consensus presents five indications for Tunneled Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheters, covering tunneling definitions, key processes, tunneling devices, various applications, and maintenance. The indications aim to enhance patient safety and optimize the efficacy of tunneled peripherally inserted central venous catheters.
Conclusions: This consensus is based on critical evidence review and the clinical experts aimed to assist clinicians in applying tunneling techniques. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate the impact of complications related to the tunneling technique.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Vascular Access (JVA) is issued six times per year; it considers the publication of original manuscripts dealing with clinical and laboratory investigations in the fast growing field of vascular access. In addition reviews, case reports and clinical trials are welcome, as well as papers dedicated to more practical aspects covering new devices and techniques.
All contributions, coming from all over the world, undergo the peer-review process.
The Journal of Vascular Access is divided into independent sections, each led by Editors of the highest scientific level:
• Dialysis
• Oncology
• Interventional radiology
• Nutrition
• Nursing
• Intensive care
Correspondence related to published papers is also welcome.
