Clinical Trial: Estimating Umbilical Venous Catheter Insertion Depth in Newborns Using Weight or Body Measurements: A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial

U.S., July 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07045506) titled 'Estimating Umbilical Venous Catheter Insertion Depth in Newborns Using Weight or Body Measurements: A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial' on June 23.

Brief Summary: Introduction: The current methods for estimating umbilical venous catheter (UVC) insertion depth, including the umbilical to nipple (Gupta) and the birth weight-based (modified Shukla) formula, have varying accuracy rates.

Objectives: To compare the accuracy of UVC insertion length using the birth weight-based formula versus the surface measurement formula in determining the optimal UVC tip position.

Methods: A multicenter randomized clinical trial was conducted in t...
