    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Vascular Access
    • Medical Device Innovation

    Background:

    • Central venous catheter (CVC) placement is crucial for pediatric patient care.
    • Tunneling CVCs from neck or shoulder to the chest wall presents technical difficulties, particularly in infants with convex chests.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present an improved technique for tunneling central venous catheters in pediatric patients.
    • To address the challenges associated with CVC tunneling in children with convex chest anatomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a new tunneling method designed to overcome anatomical challenges.
    • Focus on the practical steps and modifications to standard procedures.

    Main Results:

    • The presented technique simplifies the tunneling procedure.
    • It effectively mitigates common complications associated with CVC tunneling in pediatric patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel technique offers a viable solution for difficult CVC tunneling in pediatric populations.
    • This method enhances the safety and efficiency of establishing central venous access in children.
