Does diffuse irrigation result in improved radiofrequency catheter ablation?
The use of a diffuse irrigation at the ablation catheter tip does neither facilitate lesion formation nor reduce the amount of irrigation during RF ablation for typical right atrial flutter using recommended flow and power settings.
Overall, allergists are more skilled at Hymenoptera identification. Most allergy specialists reported testing for all stinging insects when evaluating insect hypersensitivity, and skin testing was the preferred testing method in nearly 70% of allergists. These data support the practice parameter's recommendation to consider testing for all flying Hymenoptera insects during venom evaluation, which most of the participating allergists surveyed incorporate into their clinical practice.
