CVR Calc vs My Vascular Access

CVRCalc was designed by clinicians, for clinicians — and is the tool for healthcare professionals who work in or perform Vascular Access and Infusion Therapy roles and want to monitor accurate catheter to vessel ratios. It is designed to calculate the area consumed within the intravascular space used by the catheter. The device can be used to calculate the area for both venous and arterial devices if preferred. This simple tool allows clinicians to make quick area-based calculations during the patient assessment process, along with using ultrasound to accurately measure the vessel size prior to the insertion of an intravascular device. It covers both peripheral intravenous devices (in both Gauge and French sizes) as well as central venous access devices (in French size only). Based on the 1st Place poster awarded at the Association for Vascular Access 2017 Scientific Meeting in Phoenix and supported with an academic publication, which can be found here - https://doi.org/10.1007/s11239-017-1569-y This App does NOT collect, record, store, or transmit any information entered, and is used to provide the mathematical catheter to vessel area-based calculations only.

My Vascular Access uses patient-specific factors — such as vascular anatomy, age, and functional status — to analyze the most appropriate vascular access treatment for each patient. Our data is based on the best available scientific evidence plus the knowledge and experience of an international team of vascular access experts comprised of surgeons, nephrologists, and interventionalists. - Clinical Situations: Process vascular access algorithms by clinical situation. - Selection Assistant: Discover the most appropriate vascular access using our selection assistant. - Account: Register to save your Selection Assistant results and download at any time. - Resources: Includes KDOQI Clinical Practice Guideline for Vascular Access documents and videos. ------ Supported by Kidney CARE Network International Our mission is to improve the quality of life and health outcomes of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) through collaborative activities, research, and education.

It is not intended to define a standard of care, and should not be construed as one, nor should it be interpreted as prescribing an exclusive course of management. Variations in practice will inevitably and appropriately occur when clinicians take into account the needs of individual patients, available resources, and limitations unique to an institution or type of practice. The app recommendations are based on preoperative patient information. Intraoperative findings may render that recommendation inappropriate. Every health-care professional making use of these recommendations is responsible for evaluating the appropriateness of applying them in the setting of any particular clinical situation. This app is not intended for patients who need hemodialysis catheter access or for pediatric vascular access procedure selection.
