A Prospective Trial of Ultrasound Versus Landmark Guided Central Venous Access in the Pediatric Population

Trial ID: NCT01680666
Purpose
The investigators hypothesized that, in children undergoing venous cannulation for central
line placement by pediatric surgeons, ultrasound-guided cannulation leads to an increase in
successful venous cannulation at first attempt compared to landmark guided cannulation.
