Central venous catheters have been established as a reliable source of vascular access since the 1970s. Peripherally inserted central catheters became a popular central catheter in the early 1990s for adults and children. The management of vascular access in children is an essential part of inpatient and outpatient care. Assessing and inserting the appropriate catheter for the pediatric patient is just a part of the component for central catheter care. Care providers also need to assess these children for sedation or distraction for the procedure. This article discusses factors for catheter choice and points for assessing children for sedation or distraction for vascular access insertion.

Objective: The expanding field of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for non-malignant diseases, including those amenable to gene therapy or gene editing, faces challenges due to limited donor availability and the toxicity associated with cell collection methods. Umbilical cord blood (CB) represents a readily accessible source of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs); however, the cell dose obtainable from a single cord blood unit is frequently insufficient. This limitation can be addressed by enhancing the potency of HSPCs, specifically their capacity to reconstitute hematopoiesis.

Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, according to the latest report by the World Health Organization (WHO). Intracerebral hemorrhage comprises 20-25% of the stroke in the young, with incidence rates of three to six in 100,000 people per year. One of the most common and important causes of hemorrhagic stroke in the general population is hypertension.

Objectives: The most effective use of midline catheters in children is not understood. We aimed to (1) test the feasibility of a trial comparing peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) to midline catheters in hospitalized children in need of durable vascular access and (2) collect preliminary effectiveness data of the 2 devices.
Methods: Our study combined a single site, randomized controlled feasibility trial (RCT, primary study) and a prospective observational study (alternative study) comparing PICCs to midline catheters.
