ABSTRACT
Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is an emerging method for assessing umbilical venous catheter (UVC) position. We implemented a training module for neonatal providers geared toward POCUS proficiency in assessing UVC position in our neonatal intensive care unit. Over 14 months, the percentage of providers qualified to use POCUS for UVC placement increased from 0 to 33%. The median time to achieve proficiency was 5 months (interquartile range 3-14 months). Additionally, we discovered that a minimum of two views were required to correctly assess catheter tip location. The two views in which it was easiest to correctly identify the catheter tip were the subcostal and parasternal short view using the cardiac ultrasound windows, and the phased array ultrasound probe.
