Formações venosas superficiais da fossa cubital: aspectos de interesse para a prática da Enfermagem

Abstract

The aim of this study is to contribute to the knowledge to assists the nursing staff to identify the most common types of venous formations of the cubital fossa region, and also focus on the importance of always being alert to unusual cases as that reported here. Through a literature review, we found that the venous formations of this region can be classified into five common types, bring the Type II the was most frequent. We also found that MCV is considered the best puncture site, followed by MBV. We also describe an anatomical variation, in which we observed the absence of communication between BV and CV at the level of cubital fossa draining into BV and MVF, with the presence of the ACV.

Type A Cubital Venous Pattern among Students of a Dental College: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study

“…Lack of knowledge can cause multiple punctures, subcutaneous hemorrhage and bruising. 5 In our study, prevalence of Type A cubital venous patttern was 72.18% with 43.61% in left arm and 28.57% in right arm of students. Female students showed the higher incidence (52.26%) of Type A pattern than males (19.92%).…”

Adverse reactions to whole blood donation, basic human needs and nursing diagnoses: a reflection

The second is related to the fact that venous formations may present anatomical variations between individuals (8) .…”
