Key result
Central venous lines are essential in neonatal care but are associated with serious complications such as pericardial effusion and sepsis, requiring cautious use and experienced supervision.
Why the study?
Does attempting to site the central line tip in the caval veins rather than the right atrium reduce the incidence of pericardial effusion in neonates?

Attempting to position percutaneously inserted central line tips in the caval veins rather than the right atrium does not appear to reduce the risk of pericardial effusion in neonates.

Girish Menon (2003) conducted an editorial in Neonates requiring central venous access. Central venous lines (long lines) was evaluated. Central venous lines are essential in neonatal care but are associated with serious complications such as pericardial effusion and sepsis, requiring cautious use and experienced supervision.
