Central venous catheterization is routinely required in critically ill patients and carries an associated morbidity. In pediatric patients, the procedures can be difficult and challenging, predominantly because of their anatomical characteristics. In this article and video abstract, we determine whether ultrasound-guided techniques are associated with reduced incidence of failures and complications when compared to the anatomical landmark technique: http://bit.ly/2z5ai9s | AAP Journals

Today, Dr. Abhishek provided a lesson on securing central venous access, a critical procedure for administering medications, fluids, and other therapies directly into a central vein. He began by stressing the importance of a sterile field and carefully cleaning the insertion area with Betadine and spirit, ensuring any potential contaminants were eliminated. This preparation is essential to prevent infection and maintain a safe procedure. Dr. Abhishek then introduced the central line kit, which i
