Abstract Introduction Surgeons must establish and maintain effective relationships with patients and, where appropriate, with their supporters. Before surgery, surgeons should strive to have an honest and sensitive discussion with patients about their options for treatment that leads to informed and deliberate consent. The aim of this study is to compare our consent practice in the vascular department in Royal Stoke Teaching Hospital against consent guideline in the Best surgical practice and to if we are meeting patient satisfaction. Method A prospective study of 30 patients from 21/09/2020 to 21/10/2020. Questionnaire form was designed based on the best surgical practice guideline and was given to the patient to fill. We include patients admitted for elective vascular procedures, wide range ages. The questionnaire Results Most of the of the patient (90%) were consented by the professionals who provide the treatment. 63% of the patients asked for further information in the form pf leaflets or websites. 70% of them request to know the recent guidelines of their procedures. Only 13% of them had a copy of the consent prior to surgery. Recommendations We must provide the patients with further information, Recent guidelines, and a copy of the consent to take home prior to surgery day. This can be achieved by consenting them before the operation day.

We determine if use of 16-cm central venous catheters (CVC) minimizes dangerous intracardiac catheter placements. We conducted a prospective study in a large community teaching hospital. Consecutive patients (n = 127) who required a CVC via either the internal jugular (IJV) or the subclavian vein (SCV) were assessed using 16 (n = 102) or 20-cm (n = 25) catheters. The main outcome measurements were (1) intracardiac placement of central venous catheters, and (2) relationship of right- or left-sided internal jugular or subclavian vein insertions to intracardiac catheter placement. Use of a 20-cm CVC resulted in 14 of 25 (56%) intracardiac placements compared with 11 of 102 (11%) using a 16-cm catheter ( p < 0.0001). All intracardiac placements with the 16-cm CVC were from right-sided approaches: IJV 7 of 38 (16%), SCV 4 of 18 (18%). Use of a 16-cm CVC to access the central circulation from either the SCV or the IJV results in a significantly greater proportion of safe catheter placements than using longer CVCs, and it should become the standard of care.
