Umbilical Vessel Catheterization Under ECG Monitoring and Guidance

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.

Treatment and study plan

ECG

Diagnostic Test

An ECG collects superficial readings of heart activity

Primary outcomes

Electrocardiogram Readings

Time frame: Duration of ECG placement and reading (typically 15 minutes)

A normal heart rhythm contains a P wave, a QRS, and a T wave. Readings will include amplitude, deflection, and duration of such elements to record electrical heart activity.
