Experience of acute thrombosis of the brachial artery in a newborn against a background of sepsis

This article presents a rare practical case of the brachial artery thrombosis associated with sepsis in a premature baby. The newly-arrived person was on treatment for sepsis in the maternity hospital for a month. The thrombosis occurred after the jugular vein catheterization. Brachial artery thrombosis was detected later, which led to limb amputation. Ultrasound helps to diagnose arterial thrombosis in newborns on time. This case is developed in a practical class with students.
