Nurse help during newborn catheter placement
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having a nurse help during a procedure to place a small tube (catheter) in a newborn's vein or artery reduces complications and improves care. It may help babies born between 25 and 42 weeks of pregnancy who need this procedure.

This study tests a new way of placing and caring for IV catheters in babies and children who need treatment for more than a few days. The goal is to see if these catheters work better and last longer, which could mean fewer needle sticks and less discomfort.
This study tests a training simulator for placing catheters in newborn babies' umbilical cords, guided by ultrasound. It may help doctors practice and improve their skills in this delicate procedure.
This study tests whether a brief talk with a nurse can help reduce the use of a small plastic tube (catheter) placed in a vein in the arm when it may not be needed. It aims to make care more comfortable and avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study tests a special fluid used to flush the catheter (called a 'lock') to see if it can prevent infections in newborns. If your baby has a central line, this could help reduce the risk of serious infections.
This study compares three different methods for inserting a central line (a soft tube that delivers medicine or nutrition) into a large vein in the neck of infants. The goal is to see which method is safest and most effective for babies up to 2 years old.
This study compares two types of central lines used in sick newborns: one placed in the belly button (UVC) and one placed in an arm or leg vein (PICC). It looks at which type is safer, lasts longer, and causes fewer bloodstream infections.
