Ultrasound-guided venous access: “Wire-loaded puncture” technique for paediatric cancer patients

ConclusionThe “wire-loaded puncture” technique is a useful technique, particularly in small veins overcoming the relatively common problem of “resisting wire” after a successful vein entry. The technique has a reasonable learning curve and has shown to be reproducible by different operators, machines and venous access sets. A high resolution ultrasound machine is recommended.
