Midline venous catheter: New insights for its use in hospitalized patients with diabetes.

In a prospective study we found that in hospitalized patients with diabetes the use of mid line venous catheter (MVC) resulted in a significantly lower rate of vascular complications than short cannulas. However, a special attention should be paid to catheter obstruction when MCV is used.

- The study compared construction time and leak testing between hand-sewn and skin staple techniques for intestinal surgeries in cats.
- Hand-sewn anastomoses took significantly longer to complete compared to skin staple anastomoses, but both methods showed no significant difference in intraluminal pressure.
- While skin staple enterotomies were much faster than hand-sewn enterotomies, they had lower intraluminal pressure and higher rates of leakage, suggesting that skin staple enterotomies are less reliable than hand-sewn methods.
