Abstract
To compare the rate of optimal position of UVC between modified Shukla's formula and JSS formula. Babies requiring umbilical vein catheterization were randomized to either Shukla or JSS formula group. Post-procedure X-ray was taken to check the tip position. Tip of the UVC just above the diaphragm (T9 - T10) was considered optimal. Success rate in achieving optimal position between the two groups were compared. Out of 104 babies recruited, 50 were randomized for Shukla's formula and 54 for JSS formula. Catheter tips were in acceptable positions in 39.6% of Shukla group as compared to 56% in JSS group (P=0.02). The JSS Formula resulted in more optimal placement of UVC than the modified Shukla formula.
