Abstrakt: This study examined the use of ultrasound for adjusting umbilical central lines in the neonatal intensive care unit at Royal Oldham Hospital. The authors compared ultrasound to traditional X-ray procedures and found that ultrasound-guided placement of the umbilical catheter is a quick, safe and effective method that saves considerable time in clinical and nursing management, especially in extremely premature babies.
