Area Of Science
- Pediatric Medicine
- Medical Imaging
- Interventional Procedures
Background
- Ultrasound (US) guidance is increasingly vital for peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheterization in children.
- It serves as a primary method or rescue technique for patients with difficult intravenous access (DiVA).
- The widespread availability of US technology facilitates its use by various clinicians.
Purpose Of The Study
- To review common technical challenges encountered during US-guided PIV placement in pediatric patients.
- To outline practical strategies for improving cannulation success rates.
- To address specific considerations for special pediatric populations.
Main Methods
- Literature review summarizing existing research on US-guided PIV placement in children.
- Identification and categorization of common technical difficulties.
- Compilation of strategies to overcome these challenges.
Main Results
- US guidance significantly benefits PIV placement in children with DiVA.
- Novice and trainee proceduralists may face specific technical hurdles.
- Effective strategies exist to mitigate common challenges and enhance success.
Conclusions
- Mastering US-guided PIV placement requires understanding and overcoming technical challenges.
- Specific patient populations (e.g., neonates, burn patients) require tailored approaches.
- This review provides a practical guide for improving pediatric PIV access using US guidance.

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...
DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...
