Abstract

Objective: Umbilical venous catheter (UVC) insertion is frequently performed in critically ill neonates. Various mild or serious complications of umbilical venous catheterization can be observed associated with this procedure. In this study, newborns that have undergone UVC and developed complications were evaluated.
