Area of Science:

Pediatric Nephrology
Medical Imaging
Surgical Intervention

Background:

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) offers real-time visual data, enhancing clinical assessment.
Hemodialysis catheters are essential for renal replacement therapy in pediatric patients.
Catheter malposition can lead to complications requiring prompt management.

Purpose of the Study:

To illustrate the utility of POCUS in diagnosing a misplaced hemodialysis catheter in a pediatric patient.
To emphasize POCUS's role in guiding surgical intervention for catheter removal and vascular repair.

Main Methods:

A case study of an 11-year-old girl with a hemodialysis catheter complication.
Application of POCUS for real-time visualization of the catheter and surrounding vasculature.
Surgical exploration for catheter removal and arterial repair.

Main Results:

POCUS accurately identified the hemodialysis catheter malposition.
The imaging facilitated planning for surgical exploration and repair.
Successful catheter removal and direct arterial repair were achieved.

Conclusions:

POCUS serves as an invaluable tool, the "third eye of a clinician," in managing pediatric hemodialysis catheter complications.
The case underscores the importance of POCUS in guiding timely and effective surgical interventions.
Real-time ultrasound guidance improves patient outcomes in complex pediatric cases.
