Rey C et al. - EMC of CVC were common in a teaching university hospital, but severe complications were very uncommon. Resident failure to perform CVC, high venous access, and number of attempts were independent risk factors for EMC of CVC.

| The strengths of the study were that it is a paediatric prospective cohort done in a 10-yr period, which allowed findings defining safety issues surrounding cannulation to be representative of a long period. Morover, it is the biggest study focusing on risk factors of EMC in critically ill children. The most commons EMC were arterial puncture (n=60; 7.2%), catheter malposition (n=39; 4.7%), arrhythmias (n=19; 2.3%) and hematoma (n=12; 1.4%). Resident failure to perform CVC (OR 2.53; CI 95% 1.53-4.16), high venous access (subclavian or jugular) (OR 1.91; CI 95% 1.26-2.88) and number of attempts (OR 1.10; CI 95% 1.03-1.17) were independently associated with EMC |
