Özet

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.
