Utility of Ultrasound Guidance for Central Venous Access in Children.
BACKGROUND Placement of a central venous catheter (CVC) in a pediatric patient is an important skill for pediatric emergency medicine physicians but can be challenging and time consuming. Ultrasound (US) guidance has been shown to improve success of central line placement in adult patients. OBJECTIVES This article aims to review the literature and evaluate the benefit of US guidance in the pl...

Central venous catheterization is a critical component of management for the critically ill patient in the operating room and intensive care unit. When using ultrasound techniques for central venous access, access is achieved with fewer attempts, a reduced incidence of carotid artery punctures or 'hits', an increased success rate, and a decreased duration of procedure compared to the traditiona...

tive technique for the percutaneous insertion of large-bore catheters into blood vessels that allowed for the application of angiocatheters for angiography. The Seldinger technique for central venous catheter (CVC) placement is ubiquitous in medical practice and the procedure is well known. Briefly, the procedure involves introducing a percutaneous needle into the vessel, passing a guidewire th...
