    Umbilical vessel catheterization has become a commonly performed procedure in intensive care nurseries across the country. Catheterizing umbilical vessels can be a lifesaving step when newborn infant resuscitation is required. Moreover, considerable diagnostic and therapeutic advantages can be achieved for certain sick infants in observation or special care nurseries. The procedure requires careful patient selection and proper technical performance.

    Fetal Circulation

    Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
    Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

    Cardiac Catheterization I: Pre-Procedure Overview

    Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...
