Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Complications in Neonates With Upper Versus Lower Extremity Insertion Sites

Abstract: No significant difference was found in complications that necessitated PICC removal between upper versus lower extremity PICC insertion sites. Catheter tip location may have a significant impact on complications and deserves further investigation. The choice of a PICC insertion site in neonates should be based on the quality of appropriate, available veins and the preference and skill of the inserter. Every effort should be made to achieve and maintain a centrally located PICC tip.

“…13,14 In the neonatal population, a few studies have reported the complication rates based on the site of insertion with conflicting results. 15,16 A retrospective study by Hoang and colleagues reported that the lower extremity PICCs were associated with lower rates of infection and cholestasis despite prolonged parenteral nutrition. 15 However, Wrightson 16 reported no significant difference in the overall complication rates between upper and lower extremity PICCs.…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9] Our urban and rural cohorts were similar in composition to each other, which makes demographic and clinical differences an unlikely explanation for our findings. In addition, the duration of PICC use (an independent risk factor for complications) 19,20 did not differ between the cohorts, nor was there a differential loss to follow-up or differential discharge rate among rural compared with urban patients.…”

“…Wäh-rend eine Studie einen Vorteil bei Anlage an der unteren Extremität zeigte (Inzidenz von CABSI 23 % vs. 4,6 %) [149], konnte eine aktuelle retrospektive Studie diese Ergebnisse nicht bestätigen [150]. Bei Mahieu et al war bei Anlage eines ZVK in Subclavia-Position (im Vergleich zu einem PICC oder einem NVK/NAK) die Eintrittsstelle im Verlauf häufiger kolonisiert [151].…”
