Objective: to assess the use of peripherally inserted central catheters regarding the neonate’s profile, indications for use, and catheterized vein; the relation between the number of puncture attempts and vein; and assessment of the catheter tip position. Method: documentary, descriptive, retrospective, quantitative study, developed in a tertiary maternity hospital in Ceará. A total of 3,005 PICC insertion formularies was included and 1,583 were excluded due to incomplete data, with a convenience sampling of 1,422 insertions being obtained. Results: There were 1,200 (84.4%) newborns with gestational age below 37 weeks; 781 (54.9%) males; Apgar score above 7 in the first (628–44.2%) and fifth minutes (1,085–76.3%); and weight between 1,000 and 1,499 grams on the day of insertion (417–29.3%). Antibiotic therapy had 1,155–53.8% indications for insertion; the basilic was the most used vein (485–34.1%); basilic and cephalic veins had lower median puncture attempts and 1,124–79% insertions were centrally positioned. Conclusion: The results of this research highlight the continuous need to improve technical-scientific knowledge to qualify actions in neonatology.
Métodos: Revisão integrativa de literatura, realizada de junho a julho de 2020, nas bases de dados: LILACS, SciELO, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science e MEDLINE. Os achados foram organizados conforme o fluxograma PRISMA e discutidos de acordo com a literatura pertinente.Resultados: Dos 780 artigos encontrados, apenas cinco contemplaram os critérios de inclusão. Os saneantes utilizados foram: cloreto de didecildimetilamônio, polihexametilenobiguanida e Peróxido de Hidrogênio (VHP); cloreto de didecildimetilamônio; N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-dodécylpropane-1,3-diamine; cloreto de didecildimetilamônio e limpeza a vapor; água com detergente para limpeza no balde e água sanitária (200mg/L) e desinfectante Umonium38® a 2,5%. Há diversidade de opções para desinfecção das incubadoras, com variação de métodos e frequência de limpeza. Os saneantes utilizados foram eficazes, apontando para redução da carga microbiana.Conclusão: Observou-se uma variedade de procedimentos e produtos que podem ser utilizados para limpeza e desinfecção das incubadoras. Os procedimentos de desinfecção favoreceram a redução da contaminação da superfície. No entanto, a presença de micro-organismos, mesmo que reduzida, alerta sobre o risco à segurança do paciente.
