D. M. Purohit, A. H. Levkoff and P. C. deVito
A newborn infatn developed gluteal necrosis and foot-drop associated with
umbilical artery catheterization. Clinical course of the infant's illness
illustrates that the etiology was multifactorial, being related to the site
of catheter tip placement, hypotension, and infusion of hypertonic glucose
and other drugs via umbilical catheter.
