Clinical Trial: Ultrasound-Guided Long vs Short Peripheral IV Catheters in Neonates With Congenital Syphilis Receiving Antibiotics

U.S., May 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07568171) titled 'Ultrasound-Guided Long vs Short Peripheral IV Catheters in Neonates With Congenital Syphilis Receiving Antibiotics' on April 28.

Brief Summary: Congenital syphilis in newborns requires intravenous antibiotic therapy, making reliable peripheral venous access essential. However, high rates of catheter failure and repeated punctures remain a significant clinical challenge. This randomized, controlled, parallel clinical trial aims to compare ultrasound-guided long peripheral intravenous catheters inserted by a specialized vascular access team with conventional short peripheral catheters inserted by neonatal nurses. A total of 104 newborns...
