Observational StudyDetermination of the optimal depth of a left internal jugular venous catheter in infants: A prospective observational study.
Few reports exist regarding the optimal depth of a left-sided central venous catheter in pediatric patients. We aimed to provide a guideline for the optimal depth of central venous catheters at the left internal jugular vein in infants, using anatomical landmarks, age, height, and weight. ⋯ In infants, the optimal depth of a central venous catheter at the left internal jugular vein can be determined with a simple formula using height.
