Umbilical Vessel Catheterization Under ECG Monitoring and Guidance (NCT03898596)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Umbilical venous catheters (UVC) are typically places with poor guidance and some radiological confirmation. Misplacement of the catheter could lead to its placement in other unintended anatomical areas such as the liver or the spleen, which could be detrimental in critically-ill infants. Our study aims at using a more non-invasive means of placing and continuously monitoring catheter placement using superficial electrocardiogram (ECG) tracings.
