Umbilical venous catheter malposition

Abstract:

Umbilical venous catheterization is a common procedure in the neonatal care unit. Although it is an easy procedure, insertion under suboptimal techniques may have devastating effects on the newborn. We present a rare case of umbilical venous catheter (UVC) malposition complicated with respiratory distress, pleural effusion, and acute kidney injury.
