Umbilical Line

An umbilical line is a catheter that is inserted into one of the two

blood samples. Transumbilical catheter intervention is also a method of gaining access to the heart, for example to surgically correct a patent ductus arteriosus.[1]

Complications

The complications of umbilical lines are similar to those of Central venous catheter mainly Infections such as Neonatal sepsis and thrombosis. The most common organisms causing these infections are coagulase negative staphylococci such as staphylococcus epidermidis[2] To avoid catheter-related bloodstream infections checklists and care bundles focused on strict hygiene routines are often recommended.[3][4][5]

Umbilical arterial catheter

The position of an umbilical arterial catheter is confirmed on plain film. From the umbilicus, the umbilical arterial catheter dives inferiorly and joins the right or left

thoracic vertebra, and is between T6 and T10, to avoid major aortic branches. The low range is relative to lumbar vertebra, and is between L3 and L5. The lower position may be associated with a higher rate of vascular complications such as thrombosis or vasospasm.[6]

Umbilical venous catheter

Anomalous positioning of the umbilical venous catheter occurs frequently because it is usually inserted without imaging guidance, and confirmed after placement on subsequent plain film, occurring in approximately 50% of first attempts. From the

TPN administration, a TPN abscess.[7]
