Overview

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.

Interventions

  • Diagnostic test ECG
    An ECG collects superficial readings of heart activity

Primary outcome measures

  • Electrocardiogram Readings [Time frame: Duration of ECG placement and reading (typically 15 minutes)]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Neonate pediatric patient
  • 2 - 6kg
  • Require or currently have UVC

Exclusion criteria

  • Participants who do not consent or have parental consent
  • Patients who are clinically unstable

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
