Background: The optimal insertion length for right subclavian vein catheterization in infants has not been determined. This study retrospectively compared landmark-based and linear regression model-based estimation of optimal insertion length for right subclavian vein catheterization in pediatric patients of corrected age < 1 year.
Methods: Fifty catheterizations of the right subclavian vein were analyzed. The landmark related distances were: from the needle insertion point (I) to the tip of the sternal head of the right clavicle (A) and from A to the midpoint (B) of the perpendicular line drawn from the sternal head of the right clavicle to the line connecting the nipples. The optimal length of insertion was retrospectively determined by reviewing post-procedural chest radiographs. Estimates using a landmark-based equation (IA + AB - intercept) and a linear regression model were compared with the optimal length of insertion.
Results: A landmark-based equation was determined as IA + AB - 5. The mean difference between the landmark-based estimate and the optimal insertion length was 1.0 mm (95% limits of agreement -18.2 to 20.3 mm). The mean difference between the linear regression model (26.681 - 4.014 × weight + 0.576 × IA + 0.537 × AB - 0.482 × postmenstrual age) and the optimal insertion length was 0 mm (95% limits of agreement -16.7 to 16.7 mm). The difference between the estimates using these two methods was not significant.
Conclusions: A simple landmark-based equation may be useful for estimating optimal insertion length in pediatric patients of corrected age < 1 year undergoing right subclavian vein catheterization.
