Ultrasound-Guided Short-Axis Out-of-Plane Approach With or Without Dynamic Needle-Tip Positioning for Peripheral Venous Catheterization in Pediatric Patients: A Systematic Review With Network Meta-Analysis
Authors' conclusion
Dynamic needle-tip positioning is efficacious for peripheral venous catheterization in children.
Study context
- Population
- Patients <18 years undergoing peripheral venous catheter insertion8 studies
- Comparison
- US-guided short-axis out-of-plane approach with vs without dynamic needle-tip positioning vs palpation
- Outcome
- First-attempt and overall success rates
