简要总结
The study compared two techniques of insertion of central venous lines in children. The traditional open surgery exposure of vein was compared to ultrasound guided insertion using a needle to access the vein. The study aimed to identify which of the two techniques was associated with lesser complications and preserved the vein calibre in long term. All children under 16 referred to the surgical service for central vein access for the first time were eligible to participate. Children were randomised to one of the groups. Complications during insertion, during course of treatment related to the lines were noted. Vein size was noted at time of insertion and at removal. Results of the study showed that the ultrasound guided technique was safer, quicker and preserved vein size in the long term. The study was limited by smaller than expected numbers recruited.
