RESUMO

This study reports on 15 years of experience, in a single haemophilia care centre in France, with central venous access devices (VADs) in children with haemophilia. Following the insertion of a central VAD, patients were requested to return to the hospital on a quarterly basis for a multidisciplinary appointment which included clinical examination, chest X-ray, cardiac and major vessels ultrasound and preventive fibrinolysis. The family was urged to return to the Haemophilia Care Centre if complications or problems occurred. The follow-up comprised 50 patients. Data were collected prospectively. The total number of days with a VAD was 86 461 days and the total number of times the VAD was used was 41 192 (approximately every other day). Mean duration of VAD placement was 1269 days (range 113-2794 days). There were 25 complications, of which 9 haematomas and 5 systemic infections. Two VADs, infected with Staphylococcus aureus, had to be replaced. The infection rate was calculated as 0.0578 infections/1000 catheter days. There were no cases of thrombosis. This study concluded that most VAD infections in children can be avoided, even in patients requiring intense, prolonged treatment. The very low infection rate was achieved through the efforts of a multidisciplinary team, combined with extensive training for all individuals involved, adherence to written protocols and specific monitoring measures.

RESUMO

Although a serious impediment in haemophilia patients, difficulty accessing peripheral veins has received little attention in clinical studies. New peripheral vein visualization devices could potentially ameliorate difficult venous access (DVA), but their utility remains unproved. The study aim was to survey the frequency, causes and clinical manifestations of DVA and evaluate the clinical utility of a near-infrared (NIR) vein visualizer. In this multicentre prospective study, methods, difficulties and outcomes of venous access were assessed for a single venipuncture in consecutive patients. The impact of an NIR vein visualizer on vein localization, the number of venipuncture attempts and patient stress and pain was determined. Among 450 total patients enrolled, venous access was judged to be difficult in 165 (36.7%), most often because of poor vein condition, young patient age, overweight and difficulty in finding veins. Of the patients with DVA, difficulty in locating veins was encountered in 82.4%, and more than one venipuncture attempt was required in 24.8%. Veins were difficult to locate in significantly fewer DVA patients (P = 0.002) when the NIR vein visualizer was used (76.0%) than not used (92.3%). Pain during venipuncture in DVA patients was also significantly less common (P = 0.019) with use of the NIR vein visualizer (34.0% vs. 55.4%). No effect was observed on venipuncture attempts. DVA affects more than one-third of patients at haemophilia treatment centres. An NIR vein visualizer showed significant promise for facilitating vein location and mitigating patient pain in those patients.

RESUMO

La variete de corps etrangers introduits dans l'appareil genito- urinaire defie l'imagination et peut confronter l'urologue aux difficultes de leur extraction. Si leur presence releve souvent d'une pratique douteuse d'origine psychiatrique; il faut noter la possibilite d'une migration a partir des espaces perivesicaux lors d'une chirurgie de voisinage ainsi qu'une introduction accidentelle durant une intervention transvesicale. Les symptomes du bas appareil urinaire; non specifiques; sont les circonstances fortuites de decouverte de corps etrangers intravesicaux. Bien que le pronostic vital ne soit pas engage; l'extraction chirurgicale ou endoscopique s'avere necessaire du fait de l'inflammation severe associee aux dommages vesicaux secondaires a ce corps etranger.Nous rapportons le cas d'un jeune patient admis aux urgences chez qui on trouve une broche d'osteosynthese compliquee d'une lithiase situee dans la vessie

RESUMO

Evaluer les résultats d'une série homogène de sténoses urétrales traitées de façon univoque par urétrotomie interne endoscopique (UIE) et d'étudier les éléments à valeur prédictive du résultat.Patients et méthodes. Entre 1989 et 2007, 244 patients ont été hospitalisés pour sténose de l'urètre. Ils ont bénéficié d'une UIE sous contrôle de la vue. Résultats.Il y a eu 34,3% de bons résultats après la première UIE. Le recul moyen était de 3,5 ans. La mortalité était nulle et la morbidité était évaluée à 5%. Le résultat était d'autant meilleur que le geste concernait une sténose courte (inférieure à 2 cm), unique sur l'urètre proximal. La durée moyenne du cathétérisme post-opératoire a été de 2 jours; maintenir ce cathétérisme au delà n'a pas apporté d'amélioration significative. Les mauvais résultats (65,6%) ont été rapportés dans les cas de sténose étendue, siégeant sur l'urètre distal ou concernant des patients âgés. 62,5% ont été guéris après une deuxième urétrotomie, les autres cas ont nécessité des séances de dilatations urétrales d'entretien, voire un geste de plastie. Conclusion. L'UIE est une intervention simple, dépourvue de morbidité majeure et ne nécessitant qu'une hospitalisation courte. Avec un taux de succès stable de l'ordre de 75,4% à 3,5 ans, il nous paraît licite de proposer l'UIE en première intention pour toute sténose urétrale courte, unique, proximale et qu'elle survient chez un sujet jeune, sans antécédents urétraux
