True-positive results were seen in 33% of the tests performed with STFs within 1 s of aspiration. Aspiration test results are influenced by needle diameter, needle length, and rheological properties of STFs. Additional safety measures are necessary to further reduce risk of inadvertent intravascular injection of STFs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
