Application of point-of-care ultrasound-guided tip navigation combined with visualised directional high-frequency linear array probe compression to improve the success rate of umbilical venous catheterisation in critical neonates: protocol of a multicentre randomised controlled trial in neonatal units

Introduction Conventional umbilical venous catheterisation (UVC) relies on ‘blind’ insertion without ultrasound guidance, resulting in low success and high complication rates. While point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)-based tip navigation and location has improved this scenario by enabling real-time vi...
