Chulalongkorn Medical Journal
Background : Central venous catheterization (CVC) is an essential procedure in critical care of pediatric patients.Ultrasound-guided CVC shows higher success rate and lower complication rate than conventional anatomical landmark guidance, and has been routinely performed in Interventional Radiology unit, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH) for many years. Focusing on infant patient, we want to know the outcomes at our hospital. Objective : To study the outcomes (success rate, complications and complication rate) of using real-time ultrasound-guided CVC in infant patients at KCMH. Design : Retrospective study. Setting : Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University. Methods : We retrospectively …
