Zusammenfassung:Aim To investigate the effectiveness and safety of modified electrocardiogram (ECG)‐guided technique in umbilical venous catheterisation in neonates. Methods Sixty‐six critically ill neonates underwent umbilical venous catheterisation with (ECG group) or without (control group) ECG guidance from January 2017 to March 2019. We retrospectively analysed and compared the rate of correct tip placement on first try, unplanned extubation rate and incidence of catheter‐related complications between the two groups. Results There were 33 patients in each group. The ECG group showed significantly higher rate of correct tip placement on first try (P
