Gary Wakeford the CEO of SonoStik and Dr. Greg Schears MD a Pediatric Intensivist and Anesthesiologist join Judy Thompson and Blake Hotchkiss to talk about the challenges of Difficult IV Access (DIVA) patients. In this episode of the ISAVE That Podcast series we explore the challenging conditions that arise when we assess our patients and troubleshoot challenges in access. We’ll explore SonoStik’s solution to the challenging vascular access situation. As clinicians continue to experience more and more DIVA patients in their practice, we have to be mindful of vessel health and preservation as we approach these scenarios. We’ll explore concepts of ideal catheter length, catheter lie in vessel, catheter to vein ratio and techniques for improving success across different patient populations including pediatrics.
The Association for Vascular Access would like to give a special thanks to SonoStik for sponsoring this episode of the ISAVE That Podcast series!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
