Description
Abdulrahman Özel and co-authors report one year of central line placements in critically ill children in a 2026 Turkish study. Which vein to use in small patients is debated, since each site carries its own risks. The team compared the under-collarbone vein against neck and groin routes.
One hundred seventy-four children were included, just over half via the under-collarbone route. Success neared ninety-nine percent overall. Infection and mechanical problem rates did not differ by site. Clots were commonest with the groin route, and site alone predicted clotting in adjusted analysis, with groin access nearly tripling the odds. The under-collarbone route proved safe even in the youngest.
