Abstract
In the field of pediatric surgery, the central venous catheterization technique is frequently used for the purposes of intensive care, nutrition management, administration of anticancer agents, and so on. Therefore, it is critical for pediatric surgeons to be proficient in the catheterization technique to secure a central venous route. This chapter describes the reality of and necessary precautions in central venous catheterization for children and presents complications that may occur due to catheterization. In this chapter, the first two basic central venous catheter (CVC) insertion techniques are described: the Seldinger technique and the cutdown technique. Then catheterization techniques for long-term catheter placement such as port-type and Broviac/Hickman catheters and CVC insertion techniques for continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) are also described.
