Flow irregularities from syringe infusion pumps caused by syringe stiction.
The current study aimed to evaluate the extent of the slide-stick phenomenon in differently designed infusion syringes at various infusion rates and filling positions. ⋯ Infusion set rate rather than syringe brand or filling volume was a major predictor for syringe stiction-related amount of variation in the calculated plasma epinephrine concentration.

Observational StudyUltrasound-guided Anatomical Evaluation of Right Internal Jugular Veinin Children Aged 0-2 Years: A Prospective Observational Study.
The right internal jugular vein is commonly preferred for central venous cannulation, and ultrasonographic assessment and guidance is the recommended technique for this procedure. Despite the safety and reliability of this technique, it requires specific training and experience as well as thorough knowledge of anatomy. ⋯ Our results support the current data for the high anatomical variability of the right internal jugular vein, highlighting the recommendation of the Rapid Central Vein Assessment (RaCeVA) protocol prior to and ultrasound guidance during catheterization of central veins.
