Practical anatomic landmarks for determining the insertion depth of central venous catheter in paediatric patients.
BACKGROUND Various methods have been recommended to decide a proper insertion depth of central venous catheter (CVC). The carina is recommended as a useful target level for the CVC tip position. We evaluated the sternal head of a right clavicle and the nipples as anatomic landmarks for determining the optimal depth of CVC in paediatric patients. METHODS Ninety children, <5 yr, undergoing cath...
متن کاملBedside prediction of the central venous catheter insertion depth.
BACKGROUND The carina level has been shown to be near the pericardial reflection and can easily be identified as a landmark on a routine chest radiography. The purpose of this study was to reveal a simple method to predict the adequate central venous catheter (CVC) depth, hereby facilitating safe positioning of the CVC tip. METHODS Central venous catheterization was performed via the right in...

متن کاملPercutaneous Insertion of Hickman Central Venous Catheter: Jugular Approach
Traditionally, tunnelled central venous catheter insertions have been performed by surgeons. However, there is an increasing trend towards central catheters being placed by interventional radiologists under image guidance. The many advantages of inserting central catheters via the jugular approach under image guidance include reusable venous access, generally less waiting time compared with sur...
متن کاملA nurse-led service for tunnelled central venous catheter insertion.
The procedure of inserting tunnelled central venous catheters was once carried out by surgeons or radiologists at Glasgow NHS Trust. However, increased workloads meant that these health care professionals were left with less time to devote to these procedures, which resulted in unacceptable waiting times for those requiring them. After visiting several centres in England where nurses were alrea...
