Simple and accurate formula to estimate umbilical arterial catheter length of high placement.
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to derive the new simple, reliable, and accurate formula based on a body measurement parameter and not on reference graphs, to determine umbilical arterial catheter length of high placement, between the sixth to tenth thoracic vertebral (T6-T10) levels. Accuracy among a variety offormulas was also examined. MATERIAL AND METHOD A prospective recruitment of 40 ...

متن کاملPoor Accuracy of Methods Currently Used to Determine Umbilical Catheter Insertion Length
This study compares the methods of Dunn and Shukla in determining the appropriate insertion length of umbilical catheters. In July 2007, we changed our policy for umbilical catheter insertions from the method of Dunn to the method of Shukla. We report our percentage of inaccurate placement of umbilical-vein catheters (UVCs) and umbilical-artery catheters (UACs) before and after the change of po...
