Safety of Short-Term Parenteral Nutrition Administration Through Umbilical Artery Catheters in Neonates While in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Results of this study suggest that UACs may serve as a safe route for PN administration in neonates. The absence of catheter-related complications and the absence of adverse events support the safety of this approach. Further research with a larger sample size and rigorous study design is warranted to validate these findings and establish guidelines for the use of UACs in PN administration.
