Ultrasound Guided Axillary Venous Cannulation in Pediatrics

Real-time Ultrasound-guided Axillary Venous Catheterization in Pediatric Patients: Comparison With the Landmark Technique Subclavian Vein Catheterization

The purpose of this prospective randomized study was to compare landmark-subclavian venous access to ultrasound-guided axillary venous access when performed by pediatric anesthesiologists.

Objective: Subclavian vein catheterization may cause various complications. The investigators will compare the real-time ultrasound-guided axillary venous access vs. the landmark method- subclavian venous access in pediatric paticipants. (the needle insertion point of ultrasound-guided axillary venous is axillary vein. and the needle insertion point of landmark method is infraclavicular subclavian vein)

Design: Prospective randomized study.

Setting: Operating room of a tertiary medical center.

Interventions: The investigators will compare the ultrasound-guided axillary vein cannulation (66 paticipants) vs. the landmark method (66 pa- ticipants).

Inclusion Criteria:

• surgery under general anesthesia require central venous catheterization

Exclusion Criteria:

• hematoma in central vein central vein anomaly catheterization site infection
