Internal jugular access using pocket ultrasound in a simulated model: comparison between biplane and monoplane visualization techniques.

Introduction: Ultrasound is the current standard for central venous access due to its advantages in efficiency and safety. In-plane and out-of-plane visualization techniques are commonly used, but there is no clear evidence showing an advantage of one technique over the other. The objective of this study was to compare the success and time required for biplane visualization vs.

Drug Therapeutic Failures as a Cause of Admission to an Intensive Care Unit at a University Hospital.

Objective: Drug therapeutic failures (TFs) are included in pharmacovigilance reporting, as some authors consider them a type of adverse drug reaction. Given their high frequency in Colombia, we studied their importance as a cause of admission to an intensive care unit (ICU).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study.
