Percutaneous central venous catheterization in children: first line choice for venous access

Journal of Pediatric Surgery

Abstract

Percutaneous central venous (CV) catheters using the jugular and subclavian veins have been widely used for hemodynamic monitoring and for venous access in difficult clinical situations. However, peripheral venous cutdowns (PVC) still remain the primary mode of short-term venous access in children. To evaluate percutaneous CV line insertion as a routine procedure, a prospective study of 115 patients (75 CV and 40 PVC) was performed. Ages ranged from 1 day to 17 years; age and weight were similar in both groups. Eighty-three CV lines were attempted, with a success rate of 93%, while 82% of 49 PVC insertions were successful. Complications occurred in 11 (14%) patients with CV access and 31 (78%) with PVC lines. In the latter group, poor flow was a problem in 65%, infiltration in 37.5%, and phlebitis in 27.5%. In the CV group, arterial puncture occurred during insertion in 2 (3%) patients with no adverse sequelae, catheter slippage occurred in 4 (5%), and poor flow in 2 (3%). A large majority (79.2%) of CV lines functioned successfully until no longer needed, as compared with 15% of PVC catheters. The latter were removed before completion of treatment because of poor flow (40%), phlebitis (20%), or catheter problems (10%). Cathete...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
