Umbilical vein catheterization through Wharton's jelly procedure

Umbilical vein catheterization through Wharton's jelly procedure: All patients included will receive the Umbilical vein catheterization through Wharton's jelly procedure as first-line treatment: placement of the umbilical line through Wharton's jelly, with simultaneous and systematic preparation of umbilical venous catheter (UVC)

Study summary

The aim of this study is to demonstrate, with a good level of evidence, the efficacy, safety and feasibility of placing an umbilical route through Wharton's jelly, in the context of emergency situations in the delivery room.

Inclusion Criteria : * Full-term newborn (≥ 37 SA) * Newborn for whom a resuscitation decision has been taken. * Newborn in circulatory arrest, or in profound bradycardia \< 60 bpm, requiring an injection of adrenaline in the delivery room, the indication being established in accordance with the recommendations of the European Resuscitation Council 2021, after completion of the first stages of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including the establishment of effective ventilation * Newborn beneficiary of a social security scheme or entitled person. Non-inclusion Criteria : * Newborn with known heart defects or other potentially lethal defects * Presence of a pre-existing access route * Paediatric resuscitator not trained to the UVW procedure * Twins born in circulatory arrest and requiring simultaneous management

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Estimation of the success rate of cardiorespiratory resuscitation in less than 90s with the Umbilical vein catheterization through Wharton's jelly as 1st line, in neonates in circulatory arrest in the delivery room — At the beginning of the study, an average of 90 seconds
    Successful completion of the Umbilical vein catheterization through Wharton's jelly procedure is defined as achieving a heart rate (HR) greater than 100 bpm within 90 seconds of the start of the procedure, which corresponds to cord asepsis. The reference procedure (UVC), which has been prepared in parallel, is used as soon as it is ready, if the heart rate is not greater than 100 bpm. The Umbilical vein catheterization through Wharton's jelly procedure is then considered to have failed (because the line has not been inserted, the catheter injection has not been performed or the target rate has not been reached within the time limit)
