Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All paediatric patients aged 0-12 years requiring Central venous catheter placement for medical management.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Patients with chest deformities and thick scars in whom subcostal bicaval view cannot be obtained. 2) Lack of parental consent.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Accurate placement of central venous catheter (CVC) tip at the superior vena cava (SVC)-right atrium (RA) junction using ultrasoundTimepoint: Baseline Post procedure

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) To assess the utility of rapid atrial swirl sign to detect the correct placement of the Central venous catheter (CVC) tip at the SVC-RA junction. 2) To assess the quality of view obtained by subcostal/subcostal bicaval view for visualisation of SVC-RA junction. 3) To correlate the catheter insertion depth achieved using ultrasound guidance with the depth derived from height-based formulae. 4) To correlate the accuracy of central venous catheter (CVC) tip placement at the SVC-RA junction using ultrasound with that determined by chest radiograph. Timepoint: Baseline Post Procedure
