“…These reports, however, have focused primarily on adult patient outcomes as opposed to pediatric patient outcomes. 1,5,9,[12][13][14] Ultrasonography is described as sound waves emitted from an imaging machine through a transducer probe. Sound waves are emitted through tissues of varying density and are reflected back through the probe as a real-time image on the US machine.…”

Ultrasound-guided placement of peripherally inserted central catheters has been well documented for adults who require infusion therapy. This same technology is surfacing in the pediatric population to improve outcomes when confronted with the challenges of the smaller vascular system and chubbier body shapes. The scope of practice is addressed in coupling peripherally inserted central catheters with ultrasound imaging, and recommendations are identified for the advancement of nursing practice within the field of imaging technology and application. Obstacles related to successful insertion of peripherally inserted central catheters are defined, and the benefits of ultrasound-guided placement of peripherally inserted central catheters are reviewed.

“…Ces unités ont plusieurs rôles : gérer la pose des voies veineuses centrales (VVC), des complications locales pouvant survenir à la suite de ces poses, élaborer des recommandations, former le personnel soignant et effectuer un suivi des VVC. La délégation de la pose des PICC au personnel infirmier a démontré de nombreux avantages notamment sur le plan économique [37][38][39][40][41][42].…”

“…The 24-to 26-gauge PICC commonly placed in neonates requires use of a 19-to 20-gauge introducer. [14][15][16][17] The advantage of the MST procedure is the ability to place a smaller peripheral IV catheter to initiate the venipuncture, rather than the larger PICC introducer. 6 An alternative to the traditional method for placing PICCs was described more than 15 years ago.…”

Placement of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is often complicated by the infant's small size and previous use of the peripheral veins, making the traditional means of insertion inadequate. New techniques and technologies, previously reserved for pediatric and adult patients, are now available for use in neonates and can enhance the practice of neonatal PICC teams. The modified Seldinger technique allows insertion of the PICC via smaller peripheral veins while decreasing venous trauma and enhancing the rate of successful placement. A second useful technique, the catheter exchange procedure, allows insertion of a new catheter within the same vein when complications such as occlusion, breakage, or inappropriate position occur and require removal of the currently dwelling PICC. Clinicians caring for neonates and infants must continually update their knowledge and skill by incorporating new techniques into their practice.
