Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the differences in central venous catheter insertion time, success rate, and complication between thin-wall needle technique and catheter-over-the-needle technique for central venous catheterization in children.

Detailed description

Catheterization was performed using ultrasound with an out-of-plane approach by inserting the introducer needle (thin-wall needle technique) or Angiocath Plus™ catheter (catheter-over-the-needle technique) in 45 - 60° to the patient's skin while viewing the vein in a cross section.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Guide-wire insertion time	interval between skin penetration and removal of the needle or catheter after guide wire insertion, an expected average of 80 seconds

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Time to first puncture of central vein	interval between skin penetration of the needle or catheter and flashback of blood, an expected average of 25 seconds
Total time of central venous catheter insertion	interval between skin penetration of the needle or catheter and installation of the indwelling catheter, an expected average of 3 minutes
Number of central vein puncture trial	up to 5 times, an expected average observation time of 25 seconds
Number of guide-wire insertion trial	up to 5 times, an expected average observation time of 80 seconds
