Shifting from open surgical cut down to ultrasound-guided percutaneous central venous catheterization in children: learning curve and related complications
2010
Purpose
Tunneled indwelling central venous catheters (CVC) are essential in the management of children with cancer, hematological, nephrological disorders and for parenteral nutrition. The aim of this study is to present the experience of a single center of the transition from traditional open surgical cut down procedure (OSC) to ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous CVC insertion, focusing on learning curve and related complications.
