Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
High-position umbilical artery catheter(UAC) is the intervention treatment.
The high-position UAC is placed within the thoracic aorta between T6 to T10 with positioning confirmed via radiological imaging (chest & abdominal x-ray)
Neonatologist or neonatal unit medical officer incharged of NICU will do the high position UAC insertion
There will be audit of medical records to monitor adherence to the intervention.
Intervention code [1] 327695 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
Low-position umbilical artery cathter(UAC) is the control treatment.
The low-position UAC is placed within the abdominal aorta between L3 to L5 with positioning confirmed via radiological imaging (chest & abdominal x-ray)
Neonatologist or neonatal unit medical officer incharged of NICU will do the low position UAC insertion
There will be audit of medical records to monitor adherence to the intervention.
