Key result
Ultrasonography successfully localized neonatal intravascular catheter tips and their precise relation to cardiac chambers and major aortic branch vessels in 28 infants.
Why the study?
Does ultrasonography successfully localise intravascular catheter tips compared to radiography in neonates?
Does ultrasonography successfully localise intravascular catheter tips compared to radiography in neonates?
Ultrasonography is a successful, non-invasive alternative to radiography for localising intravascular catheter tips in neonates.
