Adverse Events Related to the Use of Central Venous Catheters in Hospitalized Newborns

Abstract: This study identifies the adverse events related to the use of central venous catheters (CVC) in newborns admitted to a neonatal care unit. This is a quantitative, descriptive and retrospective study. The population consisted of 167 newborns admitted in the neonatal unit of the Hospital de Clínicas at Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil which used CVCs inserted through percutaneous puncture (PICC) and surgical insertion, totaling 241 catheters. There was a higher prevalence of mechanical adverse events in the PICC line i… Show more

“…In this study, the incidence of non-elective removal was similar to other studies conducted in different facilities, which ranged from 31.7% (13) to 47.7% (14) . However, the present study found that the main reasons for non-elective removal were different among the three possible segments of PICC insertion.…”

“…However, the complications that occurred most frequently among the catheters non--electively removed were obstruction in 9 (9.3%) PICCs, and suspected bloodstream infection related to the catheter also in 9 (9.3%) PICCs. Similar findings were found in a descriptive study that aimed to identify adverse events related to central venous catheters in hospitalized newborns, showing that the PICC obstruction occurred in 19.44% of 216 catheters inserted, and suspected infection in 2.8% (15) .…”
