- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Proportion of neonates with optimal tip position (within 0.5 cm–proximal or distal –of the junction of the inferior vena cava and right atrium)Timepoint: Twice: first at the end of USG-guided UVC placement and the second at 15-30 minutes after the procedure is completed.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Feasibility of inserting and optimally positioning the UVC by USG-guided based real-time assessment of the catheter tipTimepoint: once, at the end of procedure;Potential time saved by using USG to confirm the tip position (vis-à-vis using the conventional method of confirming it by X-rays).Timepoint: Once at the end of procedure;Proportion of neonates among those with an aberrant course of UVC (malpositioned in the liver) in whom the UVC can be successfully manipulated to reach the optimal position using the said maneuver.Timepoint: Twice; first, when the catheter is found to have an aberrant course and second, post procedure USG check the catheter tip position
