Summary

After the placement of a central venous catheter in children, a routine chest X-ray will be performed in order to examine the correct position of the catheter. In this feasibility study the investigators intend to evaluate whether the ultrasound is as sufficient as the chest X-ray to verify the correct position of the central venous catheter in children with the purpose to prevent radiation on children in the future.
