Abstract:

Attaining peripheral venous access is one of the most commonly performed procedures during the perioperative care of infants and children. Difficulties in obtaining venous access can delay or in rare cases, result in the need to cancel surgical procedures. In emergent situations, vascular access and airway management are key components of a successful resuscitation. Although used initially to facilitate central venous access, ultrasound is being used more commonly to facilitate peripheral venous and arterial access. The following article reviews the applications of ultrasound for routine and difficult peripheral vascular (venous and arterial) cannulation in the pediatric population.
