Testing a tiny guide for placing IV lines in newborns
This study looks at whether using a very small “micro-guide” helps place a peripheral IV (a small vein line) in newborns more safely or easily. It may help staff reduce problems with IV placement in the neonatal unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is a newborn admitted to the neonatal medicine or pediatric intensive care unit at Montpellier University Hospital
- Your baby is 28 days old or less
- Your baby’s corrected age (due date adjusted for prematurity) is 41 weeks or less
- This study is not only for babies who need an umbilical vein catheter for resuscitation
- This study is not only for babies who need an epicutaneous-cava catheter for long-term IV nutrition

This study checks how safe it is to place and use a central venous catheter (a special IV line) in newborns in the NICU. It may help doctors use these lines more safely when they’re needed.
This trial tests three different methods (open surgical, modified Seldinger's, and ultrasound-guided) for placing a central line into the jugular vein in the neck of infants up to 2 years old. The goal is to find which method is safest and most effective for babies who need this procedure.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound to guide IV placement helps children who are known to have hard-to-find veins. It aims to make the process quicker and less painful.
This study compares two types of central lines used in newborns in the intensive care unit—one placed in the belly button (UVC) and one in a vein in the arm or leg (PICC)—to see which has fewer complications and lasts longer. It may help doctors choose the safest option for your baby.
This study tests whether a special camera that uses near-infrared light can help nurses place an IV more easily in children. If your child needs an IV and is treated at Brno University Hospital, this device might make the process smoother and less painful.
This trial tests whether a small, portable ultrasound device works as well as a standard ultrasound machine to help nurses insert a peripheral IV line in patients whose veins are hard to find or access. It could lead to fewer needle sticks and less discomfort.
