A novel umbilical catheter securing method is safe and effective for over 350 infants. This simple technique prevents skin damage in preterm newborns, allowing for easy repositioning.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Medical device security

Background:

  • Umbilical catheters are crucial for neonatal intensive care.
  • Current securing methods may pose risks, including skin damage, especially in preterm infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a new, safe, and effective method for securing umbilical catheters in neonates.
  • To evaluate the usability and safety of this novel technique.

Main Methods:

  • A simple and rapid method for securing umbilical catheters was developed.
  • The technique was successfully applied in over 350 infant cases.

Main Results:

  • The method demonstrated successful application in a large cohort of over 350 babies.
  • The technique allows for easy repositioning of the umbilical catheter.
