Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Peripherally inserted central catheters (n-PICCs) are standard in neonatal intensive care but carry high complication rates. Ultrasound-guided non-tunneled centrally inserted central catheters (nT-CICCs) offer a potential alternative. This study compared outcomes of nT-CICCs versus n-PICCs in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates. METHODS: This is a single-center, comparative cohort study (April 2022-October 2025) enrolling neonates
