(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-08-25) Matos Bonifacio, Yeny; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa María
Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the use of ultrasound guidance in the placement of catheters in patients with difficult vascular disease. Materials and Methods: The type and design of the study was quantitative and systematic review respectively, 10 scientific articles made up the population and sample, of 100%, 10% correspond to Spain, 10% correspond to France, 10% London England, 10% Ireland, 30% USA, 10% Great Britain, 10% Canada and 10% Japan. The systematic review of the 10 scientific articles of which according to the type of research design, 10% (n=1/10) are randomized trials, 80% (n=8/10) are a systematic review and meta-analysis, and 10 % (n=1/10) are randomized studies. Results We found in 100% (10/10) of the studies that the use of ultrasound guidance in the placement of catheters in patients with difficult vascular access was effective in older adult patients, children, oncology patients, and diabetic patients who undergo dialysis. Conclusions: 10 of the 10 evidence concluded that the use of ultrasound in the placement of peripheral catheters is effective, because it has significant beneficial effects, being successful on the first attempt, reducing the risk of arterial puncture and hematomas, reducing complications.
