Summary
This study tested whether measuring a specific angle on ultrasound can help doctors place a tiny tube (catheter) into a newborn's belly button vein more accurately. Researchers studied 78 babies born at 24 weeks or later. They found that the angle might predict correct placement, potentially reducing the need for X-rays and repeat procedures.
