    The document provides guidance on selecting the appropriate size and location for vascular access in children based on their weight. For neonates weighing 3-6 kg, a single-lumen 5 French catheter should be placed in the femoral artery or vein. For children weighing 6-30 kg, a dual-lumen 7 French catheter can be placed in the internal/external jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein. Children over 30 kg can receive larger dual-lumen or triple-lumen catheters in the same vein locations.
