Summary

Sodium bicarbonate injected into a blood vessel transforms to carbon dioxide and water. The increase in carbon dioxide production can be detected by measuring the exhaled carbon dioxide in the lungs.

This study is conducted to access the clinical application of measuring exhaled carbon dioxide to verify the correct position of intravenous catheters.Once the catheter is in the correct position the injected bicarbonate will be detected as a distinct elevation of exhaled carbon dioxide. A similar study was already performed in adults and was found useful. The investigators now extend the clinical application to children.
