Near-infrared light devices versus landmark approach for peripheral venous access in the intensive care unit: protocol of a randomised controlled study by Mai-Anh Nay, Mathilde Wanneveich, Aude Ferrier, Amélie Despres, Aurélie Brasselet, Gaëtan Badre

“…Near-infrared light devices, simple non-invasive tools, may assist nurses in this procedure. We hypothesise that a near-infrared light device (AccuVein AV500) could improve the first-attempt success rate of peripheral venous catheter (PVC) placement in intensive care patients no longer requiring a central catheter.Methods and analysis This investigator-initiated, prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled superiority trial compares the near-infrared light device to the landmark approach for PVC insertion in critically ill patients with an existing CVC. …”

Strong ground motion prediction model for EPA in Loess Plateau of Northwestern China by Shuheng Xi, Xiaobo Li, Wei Wan, Xin Wang, Huaiqiang Wang, Boran Hu

“…The change rates of the fitting curves tend to increase first and then decrease, with the horizontal directions always being higher than the vertical directions. (4) The prediction equation based on M wg exhibits residual standard deviations in the range of 0.493–0.536, which optimizes the fitting results and simplifies the fitting procedure to some extent. (5) The prediction model for the Loess Plateau differs from the reference models, with its fitting EPA values and attenuation rates being relatively lower.…”
