Abstract: Pediatric blood purification requires reliable access to the circulation.Central venous catheters play an important role in the delivery of pediatric blood purification.A central venous noncuffed,nontunneled catheter is the best choice for short-term(less than 3 weeks) blood purification.A cuffed,tunneled catheter is preferable to long term(more than 3 weeks) blood purification.However,there are many complications associated with central venous catheters,such as catheter-induced thrombosis,catheter-related infection,and central vein stenosis.This article reviews the prevention and treatment of complications most frequently occurring with central venous catheters.
