BACKGROUND: Internal jugular vein (IJV) catheterization in pediatric patients is sometimes difficult because of the small sizes of veins and their collapse during catheterization. To facilitate ITV catheterization, we developed a novel skin-traction method (STM), in which the point of puncture of the skin over the IJV is stretched upward with tape during catheterization. In this study, we examined whether the STM increases the cross-sectional area of the vein and thus facilitates catheterization.METHODS: This was a prospective study conducted from December 2006 to June 2008. We enrolled 28 consecutive infants and neonates weighing
