Comparing peripheral venous access between obese and normal weight children

Comparing peripheral venous access between obese and normal weight children.

INTRODUCTION Intravenous (i.v.) access is sometimes a difficult, time-consuming, and highly frustrating procedure. Obesity is widely believed to be associated with difficult peripheral intravenous access (PIV) placement. This study examined the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and ease of venous access in children undergoing noncardiac surgical procedures. METHODS We prospectively c...

Comparison Between Open and Ultrasonography Guided Venous Access Ports in Children with Malignancy

Background: Long-term central venous access is used in children for various reasons specially for delivering chemotherapy. Since vessels in children have smaller diameters, they are more prone to injury and complications such as thrombosis. Different methods are used for implantation of port-a-cath in children. We aimed to compare the complications of insertion of central venous access ports be...
