Review Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
NICE guidelines for central venous catheterization in children. Is the evidence base sufficient?
Recent guidelines from the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommend the use of ultrasound guidance for central venous catheterization in children.

There is currently insufficient evidence to support the use of ultrasound guidance for central venous catheterization in children.
