ABSTRACT
This outstanding article by Dr. Ingemar Davidson and Carmen Bartsch, RN is the first in a series of articles on technical aspects in the creation and management of vascular access patients. The aim of this series is educational: nurses, doctors, surgeons, radiologists want practical and hands on advice, something they can relate to and apply the next day in their daily clinical practice, in the operating room or in the radiological suite. The format includes a case report, which highlights real problems and stimulates the interest of the reader. Dr. Davidson chooses to deliver his message following this outline: 1) Present pertinent medical history of the problem(s) in the specific patient; 2) Outline the treatment options; 3) Tell what was done and why; 4) Report the outcome, and finally 5) a comment section summing up issues related to the technique described in the case report. We thank Dr. Davidson for his availability to publish in the Journal of Vascular Access this article, which will be part of an important future educational material describing patients with specific problems in the creation of vascular access and their solutions. Wichtig Editore will produce and distribute this educational work in a series of CDs. Call for papers:we welcome contributions describing techniques in vascular access. The format of the articles may be similar to the one chosen by Dr. Davidson or restricted to short technique description. Proposals of titles can be sent to the following address: maurizio.gallieni@fastwebnet.it Before accepting the commitment to write the article, the editor will confirm that the specific technique has not been already described or reserved by other authors.
