Implementing guidelines for umbilical catheter use in preterm infants reduced catheter exposure and resource use without increasing infection rates. This quality improvement study demonstrates feasibility and benefits for neonatal intensive care units.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Quality Improvement Science
  • Infection Control

Background:

  • Lack of standardized guidelines for umbilical arterial catheter (UAC) and umbilical venous catheter (UVC) use in preterm infants can lead to overuse.
  • Predicting hospital course is challenging, potentially influencing frontline staff decisions regarding umbilical catheter insertion.
  • This study aimed to assess the feasibility and impact of implementing standardized umbilical catheter use guidelines.
