  • The study focuses on bronchial anatomical variations and their significance in interventional respiratory medicine, emphasizing the need for thorough anatomical knowledge.
  • Conducted on 17 lung pairs and 50 bronchoscopies, results indicate a high frequency of variations, particularly in the right lower lobe, while the left main bronchus is the longest.
  • Only 37.3% of the lung samples showed no anatomical variations, suggesting these variations might be common in the general population, highlighting the need for further research with larger samples.

Intravenous therapy teams (IVTT) provide care, education and supervision of the patient with a central line, and his/her family. This article discusses the creation of an IVTT in the Hospital Clínico San Carlos of Madrid, Spain, demonstrating its effectiveness using cost-utility analysis and outcomes indicators. In 2009 the IVTT began using a high-flow peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) with its target population of chronic patients dependent on central venous catheters or prolonged IV treatment.
