ABSTRACT
Objective:
To compare the rate of optimal position of UVC between modified Shukla’sformula and JSS formula.Methods:
Babies requiring umbilical vein catheterization wererandomized to either Shukla or JSS formula group. Post-procedure X-ray was taken tocheck the tip position. Tip of the UVC just above the diaphragm (T9 - T10) was consideredoptimal. Success rate in achieving optimal position between the two groups werecompared.Results:
Out of 104 babies recruited, 50 were randomized for Shukla’s formulaand 54 for JSS formula. Catheter tips were in acceptable positions in 39.6% of Shukla groupas compared to 56% in JSS group (P=0.02).Conclusion:
The JSS Formula resulted in moreoptimal placement of UVC than the modified Shukla formula.
