Abstrakt:	A study conducted at Agostino Gemelli University Hospital in Rome, Italy, focused on the use of real-time ultrasound to reduce malposition and radiation exposure during epicutaneo-caval catheter placement in neonates. The research found that using real-time ultrasound significantly decreased primary catheter malpositions compared to conventional radiography. This method could potentially save infants from unnecessary radiation exposure and improve the accuracy of catheter placement. The study suggests that real-time ultrasound may be a beneficial alternative for monitoring catheter-related complications over time. [Extracted from the article]
