Introduction: Central venous catheter insertion is a surgical
procedure that is frequently required, especially in neonatal and
pediatric intensive care units and oncology clinics. The gold standard
of the procedure is ultrasound guided percutaneous catheterization.
One of the most challenging situation is to see the sonographic
vision of juguler vein and insert the catheter needle at the same
time. Since the plane of ultrasound monitor and juguler vein is not
straight, the insertion may be quite difficult especially in newborns
and small babies. In this report it was aimed to present the feasibility
of smart glasses with the wireless ultrasonography device which
brings the juguler vein and sonographic view in the same plane with
bringing the sonographic view into the screen of the smart glass.
Patient and Methods: Central venous catheter insertion was planned
for a 21 days old 1880 gram baby since he had to receive medication
for pulmonary hypertension. A 3 French central venous catheter was
chosen regarding the weight of the baby.
Results: The new device was used in the operation. The
catheterization was performed in 17 seconds and total procedure
was performed in less than five minutes. There was not any
complications.
Conclusions: This device may be used safely in small babies and may
ease the operation.
