AB  - An  infant  with  an  indwelling  umbilical  artery  catheter  develops  a  vasospasm  in  one  leg.  The  nurse  notifies  you  that  another  infant  with  an  indwelling  umbilical  line  has  no  pulses  in  the  lower  legs  with  severely  decreased  perfusion.  Infants  are  at  a  high  risk  for  thromboembolism  because  of  their  immature  hemostatic  system  and  smaller  vessel  size,  and  the  fact  that  they  require  frequent  catheter  use.  The  majority  of  neonatal  thromboembolisms  are  iatrogenic  from  umbilical  artery  or  venous  catheters,  indwelling  central  catheters,  and  peripheral  arterial  lines.
