Background: Arterial catheters are frequently needed to optimize the intensive care in sick newborn. Umbilical Catheters (UAC) is more popular than peripheral arterial catheterization. They utilized provide continuous accurate blood pressure monitoring, frequent assessment of gas exchange efficiency, sampling and rarely for transfusion. may be used emergencies infuse fluids or medications absen...

A modified technique for umbilical artery catheterization was assessed in babies in whom conventional method failed or if the cord was dry. Success rate attained with the modified technique was 90% (19/21). This modified technique could provide an easier and faster method for successful umbilical arterial catheterization.

Objective. To report the irreversible severe neurological symptoms following the hyponatremic hypertensive syndrome (HHS) in an infant after umbilical arterial catheterization. Design. Case report with review of the literature. Setting. Neonatal intensive care unit at a tertiary care children's hospital. Patient. A three-week-old preterm infant. Conclusions. In evaluating a neonate with hyponat...
