Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters: Sanghyun Ahn; Surg Metab Nutr 2014;5(1):1-4. Published online June 30, 2014

Abstract PDF: Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs) are inserted percutaneously into peripheral veins (e.g. the basilic or cephalic vein et al.) and the tip of the catheter is most often placed in the superior vena cava or at the cavo-atrial junction. Since introduction of PICCs into clinical practice 30 years ago, PICCs have gained increasing popularity. The relative ease of placement, low complication rate, ability to be introduced at the bedside, and infrequent need for replacement will make PICCs more useful tools for patients requiring central access. The purpose of this article is to review the indications, contraindications, insertion methods, and complications of PICCs. (Surg Metab Nurtr 2014;5:1-4)

Intestinal Failure: Hye Kyung Chang, Myung-Duk Lee; Surg Metab Nutr 2014;5(1):5-9. Published online June 30, 2014

Abstract PDF: Intestinal failure refers to a condition that requires parenteral nutrition because of dysfunction of gut to absorb sufficient nutrients or fluid for normal growth and maintenance. The causes of intestinal failure are diverse and classified as either short bowel syndrome or motility disorder. Intestinal failure can be complicated to several categories of problems including small bowel bacterial overgrowth, intestinal failure-associated liver disease, malnutrition and metabolic problems, including electrolytes or trace elements deficiency, renal stone, metabolic bone disease or osteomalacia, central line-associated bloodstream infection, thrombosis of central venous catheter, and pulmonary embolism. A multidisciplinary team approach - medical, surgical, and nutritional management and transplantation - should be taken to prevent or control these various complications and to improve the outcome.
