NCT ID NCT07209670
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will compare two types of thin tubes (catheters) used to give medicine and nutrition to sick newborns in the intensive care unit. Researchers will track 360 babies to see which catheter type causes fewer infections, lasts longer, and leads to fewer complications. The goal is to provide clear evidence to help doctors make the best choice for each baby.
