Ultrasound-Guided Central Venous Catheterization. Study Guide
Central venous catheterization consists of the insertion of a catheter into the central vascular space for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Current evidence recommends the use of ultrasound guidance for the insertion of central venous catheters (CVCs), enabling real-time visualization of the procedure while increasing safety and probability of success. It also reduces intervention time and complications. This literature review article presents the advantages, contraindications, procedure technique and most frequent complications of Doppler ultrasoundguided central venous catheterization.
Radiarte: A New Didactic Tool for Teaching Radiology. A Qualitative Study of the Sensory Perceptions of Students
Objetive: The primary care physician's performance is strengthened by his skills in teamwork and the transmission of ideas to the patient and his family. For the development of these skills, a didactic tool called RADIARTE has been designed. Which, seeks the correlation of the imaging findings through drawing by medical students. Materials and methods: A qualitative ethnographic study was carried out with cumulative sampling. The data collection was done through field work and focus groups, achieving a triangulation of the students' perceptions of the research. Results: The perception of the medical students about the didactic tool shows a positive effect on the significant learning being more practical the learning with the correlation by drawing in an established learning environment. The evaluation system proposed allows students to know the transmission of ideas. Conclusions: The RADIARTE tool is an innovative didactic tool that allows the development of practical and useful skills in the medical student for the performance of medicine in primary care.
