Abstract:
The study was conducted on 64 children from 0-14 years old who had indication of central vein catheterization at the Intensive care unit of Central Pediatrics hospital. Results: successful rate 87.5%; unsuccessful rate 12.5%, complication rate 4.7% (common complications were penetrating into artery, catheter migration and pneumothorax), catheter’s head infection was 30.4%, no septicemia caused by catheter. The technique of measuring the position of catheter’s head through skin is correct in 71.4%, incorrect in 28.6% (mainly was turning up the same side and deep into the right heart). The over-5 year patient group had successful rate higher than that of under-5 patient group. There was a correlation between catheter’s head infection rate and the duration of catheter remaining in central vein
