Abstract
ABSTRACT
This guideline aims to standardize the prevention and management of complications related to umbilical venous catheterization (UVC). It addresses nine clinical questions, categorized into three sections: (1) questions concerning UVC‐related infection, (2) catheter position, and (3) UVC maintenance. Literature screening and review were completed for all papers published up to May 31, 2025. Relevant evidence was synthesized through meta‐analysis where applicable, and the GRADE methodology was applied to grade the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations. The guideline establishes a total of nineteen recommendations and suggestions.
