ABSTRACT
We describe the use of a triple-lumen catheter inserted through the umbilical vein for infusion of vasoactive substances, fluids, and blood products, and also for withdrawal and exchange transfusion of blood and central venous pressure monitoring. Catheter malfunction occurred in 5 of 16 cases and was related to leaks or inability to draw blood via the desired port. No complications were attributable to catheter insertion or use.
