Abstract
Central catheters are frequently inserted in neonatal intensive care units. The tip of these catheters should be in the correct position; otherwise, it may lead to life-threatening complications. X-ray has been universally used as a standard imaging modality to localize the position of central lines. Ultrasonography is an upcoming promising modality. We compared the catheter tip localization using ultrasonography versus X-ray.
