Abstract
Ultrasonography was successful in localising the tips of neonatal intr avascular catheters and showed their precise relation to the cardiac c hambers and major aortic branch vessels in 28 infants. Wherever adequa te resources and training are available, this technique may provide a cheaper and non-invasive option, as well as giving additional informat ion, than can be obtained from radiography.
