Percutaneous central venous catheters versus peripheral cannulae for delivery of parenteral nutrition in neonates

Peripheral Intravenous Cannulation: Complication Rates in the Neonatal Population: A Multicenter Observational Study

“…The median attempt rate of 2.0 (range 1-10) compares well with the study reported by Franck et al (5), i.e. median 2.2 (1[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]-12). Possibly a vascular access specialist team could increase the success rate over time since members will become more skilled after repeated insertions and education (14).…”

Intravenous peripherally-inserted central catheters for antibiotic therapy in children with cystic fibrosis

“…Complications for totally implantable venous access in CF has been reported to occur in 42 to 54% of cases, requiring device removal in 40% of cases [1,4]. In contrast, studies concerning such PICC devices in neonates and older children with CF or cancer, report as in the present study, a low rate of complications and good tolerance of such devices (Table 2) [1,3,4,7,9,12,16,20,21,23,24,26,27]. Data from the present study confirm what has been reported in the literature.…”

“…The reported infection rate with respect to other central devices such as subclavian or internal jugular catheters lies between 2.9 and 5.8% [37,38], and for TIVD, 10% [1,3,4]. In our series, we observed only one case of local inflammation and no cases of septicaemia; As it is shown in Table 2, infection rates with PICC are very low in neonates [7,20], in older children in surgical wards [9], and in older patients with CF [3,21,23].…”

“…14 However, another study did not show any evidence of increasing the risk of systemic infections associated with PICC. 9 In our study the frequency of thrombophlebitis was lower than reported values. Th is may result from strict catheter care in our unit.…”
