Abstract
Central venous accesses in neonates and pediatric patients represent a common and important procedure for both, intraoperative and postoperative care. Point-of-care ultrasound-guided technique has been proposed to increased success rate and efficiency, as well as to decrease the number of complications. Ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein cannulation is considering the “gold standard” in children. Another central venous cannulation option in neonates and children has been supraclavicular ultrasound-guided cannulation of the brachiocephalic vein using the in-plane approach.This article gives a review of the current evidence, the basic knowledge of the technique and the structured approach to follow for supraclavicular ultrasound-guided brachiocephalic vein access in children and neonates.
