Comparison of peripheral cannula outcomes, ultrasound-guided placement of deep veins versus blind insertion of superficial veins in children aged 0–18 years: A retrospective study

PIVCs with ultrasound guidance were apparently more effective than the blind ones, reducing the number of successive cannulations. Additionally, LPCs, with their greater length compared to SPCs, have proven to be more durable and may be recommended as emergency venous access in children requiring peripheral access for 4-15 days. Dislodgement should be reduced by improving the securement of the device.
