“…Small vasculature in infants precludes introduction of fistula and thus central venous catheters (CVC) represent the sole initial vascular access for HD . The recommended ideal initial vascular access point is the internal jugular vein due to low catheter‐related complications.…”

“…Maintaining catheter integrity remains difficult in neonates and infants . In spite of high catheter‐related complications in infants, average catheter life is approximately 3 to 4 months . The key factors in extending CVC duration of use include sizing the catheter appropriately for the patient and positioning it carefully and avoiding kinking, all more problematic in infants than in adults.…”

Hemodialysis (HD) in neonates and infants poses unique challenges due to high risks of mortality attributable to obligatory small blood flow volumes. Although HD is often necessary in neonates, its effectiveness and feasibility are poorly understood. The aim of this review is to describe in detail the few studies reporting on HD in neonates and infants (<12 months old) and then dissertate more broadly on the subject with an emphasis on recent innovations with potential to overcome traditional barriers for effective HD in this population. We detail the clinical characteristics, outcomes, technical considerations, maintenance and complications associated with HD, and provide guidance for addressing challenges associated with HD in this population.
