Umbilical Vein Catheter for Newborn Resuscitation

The provider places a catheter into a critically ill newborn's umbilical vein to administer intravenous fluids or medication to save the infant's life. While peripheral access is preferred, the umbilical vein can remain a viable conduit for up to a week after birth to deliver intravenous fluids or medication.
