Umbilical Vessel Catheterization Under ECG Monitoring and Guidance
Stanford University
150 participants
Aug 25, 2020
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria3

- Require or currently have UVC
Exclusion Criteria2
