What are the purposes of an umbilical catheter?
Umbilical A catheter is a long, supple tube with no end. Without repeatedly sticking the baby with a needle, blood can be drawn from an infant using an umbilical artery catheter (UAC). It can also be used to continuously check the blood pressure of a baby.
In what location is the Umbilical Catheter placed?
When placing the catheter tip in the inferior vena cava of a tiny newborn with an umbilical vein catheter (UVC), the optimal location is above the liver, between the levels of the diaphragm (T8 and T9). Before use, an X-ray must validate the position.
How long may an umbilical vein catheter be used for?
- A UVC can be left in place for at least 14 days when the catheter tip is in a good location without an increased risk of problems.
- And one study indicated that up to 28 days is safe.
