Modified Seldinger technique for neonatal epicutaneo-caval catheter insertion: A non-randomised retrospective study.

In this uncontrolled retrospective study, there was a higher chance of successful ECC insertion with MST, with a reduced number of venipunctures and similar costs per successful ECC. Further work in randomised studies is needed to verify this finding and should focus on other clinical outcomes, including rates in central line associated blood stream infections.
