A new way to determine correct depth of central venous catheter insertion using a real‐time ultrasound‐guided insertion technique in pediatric patients

Several formulae or methods are reported to predict the ideal central venous catheter insertion depth. However, they are complicated and often unsuitable in cases requiring rapid management.
