Anaesthesia or heavy sedation is required daily for 4-5 weeks for pediatric malignancies. Subclavian catheter and permanent subcutaneous port is placed by Seldinger technique to 3 children under general anesthesia for this purpose. Fifty-two sessions of sedation were performed. Initial bolus 2-3 mg/kg and additional 0.5-1 mg/kg propofol was administered via the port for sedation during radiotherapy and other diagnostic procedures. Patients were monitored by closed circuit camera system and pulse oximetry. Immediate loss of consciousness was assessed and apnea and hypoxia was not observed. Recovery period lasted 4 ± 1.5 mg and the patients were given food in 30-60 min. No episode of vomiting and nausea was reported. Replacement of permanent port and catheter for pediatric irradiation is a safe and effective method.
