Abstract		Cancer is a rare disease in childhood. Its treatment is long, usually lasting several months. The majority of cytotoxics as well as other medicine are administered by venous injections and infusion. Peripheral venous access is often difficult or even impossible in child patients. Central venous access is obtained to perform intensive chemotherapy and to treat oncological treatment problems. Various central venous accesses are used in child oncology: central venous catheter, venous access devices and tunnelled central venous catheter.
Summary		Rak je redka bolezen v otroškem obdobju. Zdravljenje je dolgotrajno, saj traja več mesecev. Večina citostatikov in drugih zdravil se daje v obliki venskih injekcij v bolusu in v infuzijah. Pri otroku je periferni žilni pristop velikokrat otežen ali celo nemogoč. Ko je pri otroku postavljena diagnoza maligne bolezni, se mu namesti centralni venski pristop za izpeljavo intenzivnih kemoterapij in za zdravljenje zapletov onkološkega zdravljenja. V otroški onkologiji se uporablja več različnih centralnih žilnih pristopov, in sicer centralni venski kateter, centralni venski kateter s podkožnim prekatom in tunelski centralni venski kateter.
