Use and Outcomes of Vascular Access in Complicated Paediatric Appendicitis – a multicentre prospective observational study

Abstract

Intravenous access is essential for post-operative management of complicated appendicitis. An alternative to peripheral cannulation is insertion of an advanced vascular access device (AVAD) which includes midlines, peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) and central venous catheters (CVCs). This study aimed to evaluate use and outcomes related to vascular access in complicated paediatric appendicitis with audit against national guidelines.
