Özet
Objective: The aims of this study were to compare the results of ultrasound (US) guidance and the landmark (LM) technique for central venous catheter (CVC) placement in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) as performed by clinicians.
Material and Methods: The patients were divided into two groups according to the technique used: an LM group (459 patients) and a US-guided group (200 patients). We evaluated the success rate, the number of attempts, and the complication rates based on each patient’s age and weight.
Results: The time required for the successful placement of the CVC was significantly different between the two groups: 10.9±10.8 min in the LM group and 8.1±7.6 min in the US-guided group (p=0.012). Additionally, the average number of attempts for successful catheterization was 1.8±0.8 in the US-guided group; and 2.5 ± 1.4 in the LM group (p=0.024). A total of 115 (17.3%) complications were noted: 24 (3.6%) in the US-guided group and 91 (13.7%) in the LM group (p=0.014). The frequency of complications decreased as the age and weight of the patients increased. When the inserted catheters used by ultrasound were evaluated, 59.5% of them were placed by clinicians who had ultrasound training while 40.5% were inserted by clinicians who did not have ultrasound training. There was no significant difference in the complication rate, number of punctures, and success rates between the ultrasound-trained and untrained clinicians (p=0.476).
Conclusion: This is the largest multicenter study comparing the US-guided vs. LM technique for CVC placement in children. We believe that the US-guided CVC procedure is more safe and takes less time than the LM technique. Also, point-of-care ultrasound is useful, beneficial, and easily available for pediatric intensivists.
