Objectives Umbilical venous catheterization is commonly used in the neonatal period;
however, it has some complications. In this study, we evaluated neonates who underwent …

This study compares the methods of Dunn and Shukla in determining the appropriate
insertion length of umbilical catheters. In July 2007, we changed our policy for umbilical …

The method of Shukla is commonly used to predict the insertion length of umbilical vein
catheters (UVCs) but often leads to over-insertion. Malposition of UVCs can lead to …

BACKGROUND: Pleural effusion is rare and includes several disease entities in the
neonatal period. The aim of this study was to investigate the etiology, management, and …

Umbilical vessel catheterization is common practice for infants in the neonatal intensive care
unit (NICU). Umbilical venous catheters (UVC) although very useful as a means of obtaining …

Abstract Objective Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) lines are an essential tool
in the management of premature neonates. Pleural effusion (PLE) secondary to the leakage …

Objectives Conventional neonatology practice is to place umbilical venous catheters (UVCs)
in central position and to limit the use of low-lying catheters. Our objectives were to describe …

Umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) are commonly used in the management of severely ill
neonates. Several life-threatening complications have been described, including catheter …

Umbilical venous catheterisation (UVC) insertion is a common procedure performed in most
neonatal units. We report a case of a neonate who developed pleural and pericardial …

In newborns, the presence of liver fluid collection is a rare event. The reported cases are
isolated or described over long periods. Within four months, five neonates were diagnosed …
