Abstract:
Central venous catheterizations are often used in pediatric intensive care units or for long-term intravenous treatment. It consists in positioning the catheter extremity in the venous cava-right atrium junction. Adapted material and techniques are necessary for young children because of particularities in anatomy and the size of the different venous trunks. The aim of this paper is to present the different material and techniques and to show the indications, complications and follow-up in central venous catheterization for young children.
