Transparent semipermeable dressings for peripherally inserted central catheters in neonates – should we be concerned?

چکیده
Methods All neonates with a PICC in 2010 were prospectively included in this single-centre observational study. There was no scheduled dressing change for TSD. Non-selective culture plates, pressed to the PICC insertion site upon catheter removal, were incubated for 24 hours and colony counts within a 1 cm radius were compared to the time of dressing. Dressing-time was defined as days TSDs were in place. Standard definitions were used for central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI).

Fracture of a Broviac catheter in a low-birth-weight infant.
Central venous catheters are widely used in children, particularly in very-low-birth-weight infants in whom long-term access to the venous system is required. This may be achieved by using peripherally inserted central catheters or tunnelled central venous lines (eg Broviac or Hickman lines). Previous case reports of fractured central catheters in premature neonates have involved peripherally i...

BACKGROUND.Mechanical and infectious complications shorten the effective duration of peripherally inserted central venous catheters. Heparin use to prevent such complications and prolong the usability of peripherally inserted central venous catheters is inconclusive. OBJECTIVE.Our goal was to evaluate the effectiveness of heparin in prolonging the usability of peripherally inserted central veno...

BACKGROUND Peripheral insertion of central catheters can be difficult in neonates. We compared the success rates of peripherally inserted central catheters by two methods of using static ultrasound and traditional technique (vein visualization and palpation) in neonates. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospective randomized, controlled trial, 52 neonates with birth weight lower than 1500 g in a l...
