During the presentation of Dr. V. D’Andrea at the pre-congress of the jENS, he showed us a movie on how to apply the MST technique – Modified Seldinger Technique.
Modified Seldinger Technique (MST) is a safe and effective method for neonatal ECC insertion. In this video, he uses a small needle ( with a diameter of 0,55!), which is inserted and then cannulated with a guidewire. The needle is then removed and a combined dilator and peelable cannula is placed over the guidewire. When the guidewire and the dilator are removed the 1-2 Fr ECCs can be inserted through the peelable cannula.
