Abstract

Central vascular access in critically ill paediatric patients is, many times, a challenge for physicians due to the number of lines needed for multiple  infusions. We present ultrasound-guided placement of a double catheter in the right internal jugular vein in two patients that required multiple central lines for management.


Key words: Double catheter, jugular vein, ultrasound-guided
