Development of site-specific predictive equations for epicutaneo-caval catheter insertion depth by body weight in neonates
In the current study, we formulated seven equations to predict the insertion length of ECCs at various insertion regions, utilizing body weight as the primary predictor. The equations demonstrate relatively good performance, which may enhance the success rate of ECC insertions and decrease the incidence of complications.
