Evaluation of a Novel Bony Landmark-Based Method for Teaching Percutaneous Insertion of Subclavian Venous Catheters in Pediatric Patients

ConclusionsWith the bony landmark approach, trainees could perform the procedures faster despite operating on younger patients, without impacting complication rates and cannulation attempts. Bony landmarks may better approximate SCV position across a range of ages, thus improving the consistency of SCV cannulation in CVAD placements in children.
