We report our experience with umbilical artery cutdowns in 30 neonates in whom the umbilical artery was cannulated through a mini-laparotomy. In 29 of 30 cases (97%) successful cannulation was achieved. The mean gestational age was 31.4 weeks, and 8 neonates weighed less than 1000 g. The duration of catheter use ranged from 1 to 30 days, with a mean of 7 days. There were no complications resulting in long-term disability. A review of the literature discusses the various techniques of arterial catheterization in critically ill newborns. We conclude that umbilical artery catheterization by cutdown can be a reliable and relatively safe means of obtaining arterial access in critically ill neonates.
