This, along with the position of the BFC impacts the wall shear rate of the port chamber, and the hydraulic resistance within the chamber. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p> This last factor has never been the subject of extensive hydrodynamic study. Caregiver safety and patient comfort are paramount but physics show that the shape of the needle tip affects the hydrodynamics of the injected flow. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> The presence of a bevel at the needle tip is a key factor for ensuring efficient flushing of the port. The absence of a bevel may increase hydraulic resistance and deposits in the port chamber. Implantable port flushing protocols must take this notion into account if the patency of port chambers is to be maintained. The clinical impact of this study has yet to be determined. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5301\/jva.5000593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,20]],"date-time":"2016-09-20T12:50:23Z","timestamp":1474375823000},"page":"521-526","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Impact of the Shape of the Needle Tip on the Efficacy of Flushing Implantable Port Chambers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"G\u00e9rard","family":"Guiffant","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Paris Diderot \u2013 Groupe Biofluidique, UMR CNRS, Paris - France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Dupont","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonary Department and Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre, Cochin Hospital, Paris - France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacques","family":"Merckx","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Paris Diderot \u2013 Groupe Biofluidique, UMR CNRS, Paris - France"},{"name":"University Teaching Hospital Necker-Enfants Malades, Paris - France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-jva.5000593","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhin.2005.08.019"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr2-jva.5000593","first-page":"199","volume":"44","author":"Ahmadi J","year":"2006","journal-title":"Acta Medica Iranica"},{"key":"bibr3-jva.5000593","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jso.2930410112"},{"key":"bibr4-jva.5000593","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.215.1.r00ap14294"},{"key":"bibr5-jva.5000593","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/bjr.75.898.750799"},{"key":"bibr6-jva.5000593","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.184.4.01841332"},{"key":"bibr7-jva.5000593","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.07.3717"},{"key":"bibr8-jva.5000593","unstructured":"Pr\u00e9vention des infections associ\u00e9es aux chambres \u00e0 cath\u00e9ter implantables pour acc\u00e8s veineux.
