Heparin for clearance of peripherally inserted central venous catheter in newborns: an in vitro study
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of two concentrations of heparin to clear the lumen of in vitro clotted neonatal peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). METHODS This is an in vitro, experimental quantitative study of 76 neonatal 2.0Fr PICCs coagulated in vitro. The catheters were divided into two groups of 38 PICCs each. In both groups an infusion of low molecular weight heparin wa...
متن کاملPericardial Effusion in an Extreme Low Birth Weight Neonate with Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter
Background: Pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade are the rare complications of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC insertion) in extreme low birth weight infants. In this regard, paying attention to these complications is of utmost importance, because they can result in infant death. Case report: The case of our infant is a sa...
متن کاملPeripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) placement in newborns, Italian training program for nurses: preliminary results

In 2014 a group of neonatologists and nurses established at the Civil Hospital in Brescia a PICC group; the aim was to review and update the internal procedures but, also to ponder th...
متن کاملAn in vitro study comparing a peripherally inserted central catheter to a conventional central venous catheter: no difference in static and dynamic pressure transmission
BACKGROUND Early goal directed therapy improves survival in patients with septic shock. Central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring is essential to guide adequate resuscitation. Use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) is increasing, but little data exists comparing a PICC to a conventional CVP catheter. We studied the accuracy of a novel PICC to transmit static and dynamic pressures ...
متن کاملUpper extremity deep vein thrombosis: a complication of an indwelling peripherally inserted central venous catheter
We report a case of peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC)-associated deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Ultrasound images and video of subclavian thrombus are presented. PICC line-associated DVT, particularly in cancer patients is not uncommon. Point-of-care Emergency Department ultrasound can readily diagnose this complication and device removal is not always necessary.
