ObjectivesTo compare the efficacy of the ultrasound-guided approach with and without dynamic needle-tip positioning and the palpation technique regarding success for peripheral venous catheterization in children.DesignA systematic review with network meta-analysis.SettingDatabases of MEDLINE (via PubMed) and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials.ParticipantsPatients (<18 years) undergoing peripheral venous catheter insertion.InterventionsRandomized clinical trials were included to compare the following techniques: the ultrasound-guided short-axis out-of-plane approach with dynamic needle-tip positioning, the approach without dynamic needle-tip positioning, and the palpation technique.Measurements And Main ResultsThe outcomes were first-attempt and overall success rates. Eight studies were included in the qualitative analyses. According to the estimate of network comparison, dynamic needle-tip positioning was associated with higher first-attempt (risk ratio [RR] 1.67; 95% CI 1.33-2.09) and overall success rates (RR 1.25; 95% CI 1.08-1.44) than palpation. The approach without dynamic needle-tip positioning was not associated with higher first-attempt (RR 1.17; 95% CI 0.91-1.49) and overall success rates (RR 1.10; 95% CI 0.90-1.33) than palpation. Compared to the approach without dynamic needle-tip positioning, dynamic needle-tip positioning was associated with a higher first-attempt success rate (RR 1.43; 95% CI 1.07-1.92), but not a higher overall success rate (RR 1.14; 95% CI 0.92-1.41).ConclusionsDynamic needle-tip positioning is efficacious for peripheral venous catheterization in children. It would be better to include dynamic needle-tip positioning for the ultrasound-guided short-axis out-of-plane approach.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
