Comparison of Bedside Real-Time Ultrasound and Traditional Blind Catheterization in Umbilical Venous Catheterization in Critically Ill Neonates
Objective To explore the application effect of bedside real-time ultrasound and traditional blind catheterization in umbilical venous catheterization(UVC)in critically ill neonates.Methods A total of 100 critically ill neonates who needed UVC in Zhoukou Central Hospital from January 2022 to September 2023 were selected.According to different treatment methods,they were divided into the control group(traditional blind catheterization)and the research group(bedside real-time ultrasound),each with 50 cases.The one-time catheterization success rate,retention time,catheterization time,number of catheter fixations,inflammatory factors,and complications of the two groups were compared.Results The one-time catheterization success rate and retention time of the research group were higher than those of the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The catheterization time and the number of catheter fixations in the research group were lower than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The C-reactive protein(CRP)and procalcitonin(PCT)in the research group were lower than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the research group was lower than that in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The one-time catheterization success rate of UVC assisted by bedside real-time ultrasound is higher,and it can reduce the inflammatory response and the occurrence of complications,and the catheter retention time is longer.
