BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are superior to central venous catheters (CVCs); therefore, we compared post-implantation complications between CVC and PICC groups. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Patients who received CVCs or PICCs between April 2010 and March 2018 were identified from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, a national inpatient database in Japan. The outcomes of interest included catheter infection, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and phlebitis. Propensity score overlap weighting was used to balance patient backgrounds. Outcomes were compared using logistic regression analyses. RESULTS We identified 164,185 eligible patients, including 161,605 (98.4%) and 2,580 (1.6%) in the CVC and PICC groups, respectively. The PICC group was more likely to have overall complications (odds ratio [OR], 1.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.32-2.19), pulmonary embolism (OR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.38-3.89), deep vein thrombosis (OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.16-2.99), and phlebitis (OR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.27-2.32) than the CVC group. There was no significant intergroup difference in catheter infection (OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.39-3.04). CONCLUSIONS Patients with PICCs had a significantly greater incidence of complications than did those with CVCs. Further research is necessary to explore the factors contributing to these complications.

INTRODUCTION This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of dynamic versus standard bougies to achieve tracheal intubation. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar on 10 October 2023. We included clinical trials comparing both devices. The primary outcome was the first-attempt intubation success rate. The secondary outcome was the time required for tracheal intubation. RESULTS Eighteen studies were included. Dynamic bougies do not increase first-attempt success rate (RR 1.11; p = 0.06) or shorten tracheal intubation time (MD -0.30 sec; p = 0.84) in clinical trials in humans. In difficult airways, first-attempt success intubation rate was greater for dynamic bougies (RR 1.17; p = 0.002); Additionally, they reduced the time required for intubation (MD -4.80 sec; p = 0.001). First-attempt intubation success rate was higher (RR 1.15; p = 0.01) and time to achieve intubation was shorter when using Macintosh blades combined with dynamic bougies (MD -5.38 sec; p < 0.00001). Heterogeneity was high. CONCLUSION Dynamic bougies do not increase the overall first-pass success rate or shorten tracheal intubation time. However, dynamic bougies seem to improve first-attempt tracheal intubation rate in patients with difficult airways and in those intubated with a Macintosh blade. Further research is needed for definitive conclusions. REGISTRATION OF PROSPERO CRD42023472122.
方法我们检索了 2023 年 10 月 10 日的 MEDLINE、Embase、CENTRAL、Web of Science、Scopus 和 Google Scholar。我们纳入了对两种设备进行比较的临床试验。主要结果是首次尝试插管的成功率。结果共纳入 18 项研究。在人体临床试验中,动态缓冲器不会提高首次尝试成功率(RR 1.11;P = 0.06)或缩短气管插管时间(MD -0.30秒;P = 0.84)。在困难气道中,首次尝试成功插管率更高的是动态弹力袜(RR 1.17;p = 0.002);此外,动态弹力袜还缩短了插管所需的时间(MD -4.80 秒;p = 0.001)。首次尝试插管成功率更高(RR 1.15;p = 0.01),使用 Macintosh 刀片和动态弹弓时,插管时间更短(MD -5.38 秒;p < 0.00001)。结论动态推杆并不能提高总的首次插管成功率或缩短气管插管时间。但是,对于困难气道患者和使用 Macintosh 刀插管的患者,动态推杆似乎能提高首次尝试气管插管的成功率。要得出确切结论,还需要进一步研究。
