Summary

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of umbilical vein catheter (UVC) placement on splanchnic oxygenation in preterm infants.

Methods: In our single-center, prospective, observational cohort study, near-infrared spectroscopy probes were placed to monitor regional splanchnic oxygen saturation (rSO2S) and calculate fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FOE) in preterm infants (GA \< 34 weeks, BW 1000-2000 g) for one week post-stabilization. Gestational age-matched UVC (+) and (-) Groups were clinically and physiologically compared, before and after UVC placement/removal.

Conditions

  • Feeding Intolerance
  • Necrotising Enterocolitis Neonatal

Interventions

OTHER

umbilical vein catheterization

In our NICU, UVC placement is a sterile bedside procedure carried out by pediatric residents, neonatology fellows, and neonatology specialists, using polyurethane, single-lumen catheters sized according to the infant's weight: 3.5 Fr for those under 1500 g and 5 Fr for those over 1500 g. Catheter placement is performed using the Modified Shukla-Ferrara Formula

OTHER

Control

No umbilical vein catheter was inserted in these infants.
