Yep, I agree about the UAC (umbilical artery catheter). If they had reason to believe a baby would need quick access, they sometimes even placed them in the delivery room.
My hospital had a Level II NICU and could theoretically handle any baby that didn't need mechanical ventilation, but if it looked like they would be there more than a few hours, most of the time they were sent to a hospital that had higher-level care, usually by air but sometimes by ground if the baby's condition wasn't ultra-critical.
