Insights
This study compared venous access methods for chemotherapy in 100 pediatric patients. Subclavian venous access with ultrasound and radiological guidance is safer and less traumatic than external jugular vein access.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric oncology
- Vascular access procedures
Context:
- Chemotherapy administration in children necessitates reliable venous access.
- Implantation of 100 ports was analyzed in pediatric patients aged 0.5 to 16 years undergoing neoplasm treatment.
Purpose:
- To evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of different venous access methods for port implantation in pediatric cancer patients.
- To determine the optimal approach for long-term central venous access in children receiving chemotherapy.
Summary:
- Analysis of 100 port implantations in pediatric patients (0.5-16 years) receiving chemotherapy for neoplasms.
- Comparison of subclavian venous access utilizing ultrasound and radiological control against external jugular vein access.
- Findings indicate subclavian venous access with imaging guidance is a safer and less traumatic option.
Impact:
- Provides evidence-based recommendations for improving venous port implantation techniques in pediatric oncology.
- Aims to reduce patient trauma and improve treatment delivery for children with cancer.
- Contributes to the optimization of central venous access strategies in pediatric care.
Abstract:
In the study we analyzed the methods and results of implantation of 100 ports. Children age ranged between 0.5 and 16 years. All children received chemotherapy during neoplasm treatment. In conclusion, ultrasound detector, radiological control and subclavian venous access are safe and less traumatic than external jugular vein.
