Nurse-led catheter placement in newborns
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study examines whether having a nurse assist during the placement of a special catheter in newborns improves the procedure. It aims to make the process safer and more comfortable for your baby.

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.
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 study tests a special locking solution placed in central venous catheters (thin tubes in babies' veins) to prevent infections. Researchers want to see if this approach keeps newborns safer during hospital care.
This trial looks at whether using heart-monitoring (ECG) can help guide placement of an umbilical vessel catheter (a special line placed through the belly button) in newborns. It may help make line placement safer and more accurate.
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 study tests a different way to secure the breathing tube in preterm babies on a ventilator. It may help reduce skin problems or unplanned tube removal in the NICU.
