Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Ultrasound-guided lung sliding sign to confirm optimal depth of tracheal tube insertion in young children.
The tip of the tracheal tube should lie at the mid-tracheal level after tracheal intubation in paediatric patients. Auscultation does not guarantee optimal positioning of the tracheal tube. We compared auscultation and the ultrasound-guided lung sliding sign to confirm optimal positioning of the tracheal tube in paediatric patients. ⋯ KCT 0003015.

Observational Study
Incidence of and risk factors for venous thrombosis in children with percutaneous non-tunnelled central venous catheters.
Venous thrombosis (VT) in children is often associated with a central venous catheter (CVC). We aimed to determine the incidence of VT associated with percutaneous non-tunnelled CVCs in a general paediatric population, and to identify risk factors for VT in this cohort. ⋯ ACTRN12615000442505.
