Lung Deflation in Pediatric Subclavian Vein Catheterization

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Pediatric Subclavian Vein Catheterization

Procedure: lung deflation
Procedure: lung inflation
Registration Number
NCT01608503
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The subclavian vein (SCV) is a preferred site for placement of central venous catheter. However, pneumothorax is a major concern during subclavian venous catheterization. Lung deflation, by decreasing lung volume, may reduce the risk of pneumothorax by increasing the distance between the pleura and the SCV. The investigators evaluated the effect of lung deflation on the relative position between the pleura and the line of the imaginary needle pathway during supraclavicular and infraclavicular approach to the subclavian vein (SCV) using ultrasonography.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The distance between the pleura and the line of the imaginary needle pathway (DPI)Within 5 minutes

The ultra-sonography probe was adjusted to obtain an image containing the long-axis cross section of SCV, the pleura, the clavicle, and the first rib. Images were recorded by the same physician during whole respiratory cycle with the probe held in the identical position.

Imaginary lines for supraclavicular and infraclavicular approach were drawn, and distances from the pleura were measured.

If the pleura touched the INP, the distance was recorded as positive value. If the pleura did not touch the INP, the distance was recorded as negative value.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The incidence of pleural movement over the imaginary needle pathwayWithin 5 minutes

If the pleura touched the imaginary needle pathway, the incidence was checked.
