Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* What is the incidence of Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections when using a split septum connector?
* What is the incidence of Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections when using a mechanical valve connector?
* What is the ratio length of stay between babies with birth weight \< 1500 grams who use split septum connector and mechanical valve?
* What is the ratio incidence of mortality due to sepsis of babies with birth weight \< 1500 grams who use split septum connector and mechanical valve?
Participants will be observed for two weeks after insertion of central line. They will be taken blood sample for culture and sepsis marker panel.
Researchers will compare split septum group and mechanical valve group to see if there is a central line associated bloodstream infections

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Very preterm neonates or birth weight < 1500 gram receiving split septum needleless connector
Very preterm neonates or birth weight \< 1500 gram who needs central line access will use split septum mechanism for their needleless connector
Split septum needleless connector
Participants in this study are limited to very preterm neonates or neonates with birth weight under 1500 grams. Split septum mechanism is still widely use in Indonesia, therefore the use of mechanical valve mechanism as needleless connector for central line access in very preterm neonates have never been tested.
Very preterm neonates or birth weight < 1500 gram receiving mechanical valve needleless connector
Very preterm neonates or birth weight \< 1500 gram who needs central line access will use mechanical valve for their needleless connector
Mechanical valve needleless connector
Participants in this study are limited to very preterm neonates or neonates with birth weight under 1500 grams. Split septum mechanism is still widely use in Indonesia, therefore the use of mechanical valve mechanism as needleless connector for central line access in very preterm neonates have never been tested.
