Median Cubital Vein

A peripheral intravenous catheter is used to access a peripheral vein. To start a peripheral intravenous line, identify the site, place a tourniquet, clean the skin, stabilize the vein, and insert the catheter. When a “flash” is obtained, thread off the catheter, connect it to the tubing, and secure. This chapter describes tips for finding common intravenous access sites in children, which are the metacarpal, saphenous, cephalic, median, and scalp veins. These veins vary in size, depth, and difficulty. Metacarpal/dorsal hand veins are on the dorsal aspect of the hand and typically arise from adjacent digital veins and form a network that usually provides several targets for access, although there is significant variation. These veins form the cephalic vein (radial side) and basilic vein (ulnar side) as they converge. The cephalic vein arises from the lateral (radial) side of the dorsal venous network before curving around the wrist to run along the anterolateral forearm, where it is frequently easily accessed. It continues on this course up the arm, but more proximally it is less superficial. The median cubital vein runs from the cephalic vein medially toward the basilic vein diagonally across the antecubital fossa and is reliably present if not always visible. The greater saphenous vein is formed on the foot from the dorsal vein of the great toe and the dorsal venous arch of the foot. It ascends anteriorly to the medial malleolus and superiorly up the medial calf.

Superficial Ulnar Artery

The principal arteries of the upper limb show a wide range of variation that is of considerable interest to orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, radiologists and anatomists. We present here a case of superficial ulnar artery found during the routine dissection of right upper limb of a 50-year-old male cadaver. The superficial ulnar artery originated from the brachial artery, crossed the median nerve anteriorly and ran lateral to this nerve and the brachial artery. The superficial ulnar artery in the arm gave rise to a narrow muscular branch to the biceps brachii. At the elbow level the artery ran superficial to the bicipital aponeurosis where it was crossed by the median cubital vein. It then ran downward and medially superficial to the forearm flexor muscles, and then downward to enter the hand. At the palm, it formed the superficial and deep palmar arches together with the branches of the radial artery. The presence of a superficial ulnar artery is clinically important when raising forearm flaps in reconstructive surgery. The embryology and clinical significance of the variation are discussed.

BACKGROUND: To establish the diagnosis of leprosy accurately, additional examination such as serologic examination with ELISA is required. There are considerations about taking a blood sample from the earlobe region.AIM: To determine the differences in IgM anti-PGL-1 antibody levels from earlobe capillary and median cubital vein blood sample in leprosy patients.METHODS: An observational analytic study using a cross-sectional study involving 30 patients with leprosy. ELISA examination of earlobe blood samples with filter paper, and the median cubital vein blood samples with filter paper and conventional methods were performed to determine IgM anti-PGL-1 antibody levels.RESULTS: The mean value of IgM anti PGL-1 antibody levels from earlobe blood samples with filter paper (1476.62 μ/ml) was relatively similar with median cubital vein blood samples with conventional method (1476.77 μ/ml), but the mean value of IgM anti PGL-1 antibody levels from median cubital vein blood samples with filter paper (1210.37 μ/ml) was lower from other methods. However, there was no statistically significant difference between them.CONCLUSION: There are no significant differences between the mean levels of IgM anti-PGL-1 antibody from earlobe and the median cubital vein blood samples.

Supplement Intake

The consumption of creatine supplement among amateur and professional athletes is increasing. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of creatine supplementation on the kidney function of dragon boat athletes. 12 dragon boat athletes were divided into 2 groups, including one group that consumed creatine supplement and one group without creatine intake (placebo). Creatine supplement was given at a loading dose of 20gr/day. The frequency of creatine supplement intake was 3-4x a day. In the second week, the dose was reduced into 15 gr/day. Creatine supplements were consumed for 5 weeks. Blood urea and creatinine were taken from the median cubital vein of the arm by using a 3cc syringe. The results showed that creatine supplementation had a significant effect in increasing the level of blood urea and creatinine. Although there were increases in urea and creatinine levels in the blood, the amount was still within normal limits. Therefore, it should be anticipated by taking a sufficient water intake. AbstrakKonsumsi kreatin suplemen di kalangan atlet amatir dan profesional semakin meningkat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh suplemen kreatin terhadap fungsi ginjal atlet dragon boat. 12 orang atlet dragon boat dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, satu kelompok yang mengkonsumsi kreatin dan satu kelompok tanpa asupan kreatin (placebo). Suplemen kreatin diberikan dengan dosis loading 20gr/hari, frekuensi pemberian 3-4x sehari. Pada minggu kedua dosis diturunkan menjadi 15 gr/hari. Suplemen kreatin dikonsumsi selama 5 minggu. Kadar ureum dan kreatinin darah diambil dari vena median cubital lengan dengan menggunakan spuit 3cc. Hasil penelitian didapatkan pemberian suplemen kreatin berpengaruh signifikan meningkatkan kadar ureum dan kreatinin dalam darah. Walau terdapat peningkatan kadar ureum dan kreatinin dalam darah namun jumlahnya masih dalam batas normal, sehingga perlu diantisipasi dengan asupan cairan yang memadai.

651 Background: Repeated venous punctures are usually required in cancer patients for application of chemotherapy. Central venous catheters and implantable port systems have substantially facilitated the problem of vascular access. Safe and easy-to-handle port systems have become an integral part of daily clinical routine in oncology. However, there are several serious complications associated with central venous ports (CV-ports). With the recent development of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (XELOX) therapy involving oral administration of drug preparations, etc., implantation of a CV-port can be avoided. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the safety of administration of chemotherapy via median cubital vein without CV port for metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods: The study included 144 patients who received XELOX + bevacizumab (BV) therapy and XELOX therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer without implantation of a CV-port. Results: Eighty-five patients experienced vascular pain, but it was transient. The drip infusion route had to be switched to the opposite side because of vascular pain in only 1 of the 144 patients. No patients required CV-port implantation or postponement of treatment due to adverse events caused by administration of the drug via the peripheral vein. Grade 3 or higher hemotoxicity was noted in 12.5%, and grade 3 or higher nonhematological toxicity was noted in 17.4%. Conclusions: We may be able to perform port-free-chemotherapy via median cubital vein for patients with colorectal cancer. We can avoid the serious complications associated with CV-port.
