“…Despite being common, PIVC placement can be difficult and time-consuming, particularly for neonatal patients with less visible veins, and compromised skin (Ainsworth and McGuire, 2016). Neonatal skin is thin and structurally immature, increasing the risk of absorption of procedural solutions leading to possible burns, toxicity, or adhesive related injuries (Ponnusamy et al, 2014). The neonatal vascular network also continues to mature after the first year of life (McCullen and Pieper, 2006) and vein structure includes decreased muscle diameter requiring a small gauge cannula (Franck et al, 2001).…”

A B S T R A C TPeripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are important tools for the provision of treatment for unwell and premature neonates. This study aimed to explore current PIVC practices (i.e. insertion, product selection, complications and management priorities) within Australian and New Zealand neonatal units, to identify areas for innovation and practice change. The survey was distributed via Australian and New Zealand neonatal nursing associations, with 180 respondents (54% Australia; 46% New Zealand). Respondents reported an average of 2-3 insertion attempts were required per PIVC, with variability in cleansing agents, decontamination techniques, skin barrier films and PIVC dressing products used. The large majority of respondents reported seeing skin complications associated with PIVCs within their practice (94%). Infection prevention was the highest management priority, and skin complication prevention, the lowest priority. High quality research is necessary to inform neonatal PIVC insertion and management practices, to improve patient safety and treatment provision. plications, and (d) PIVC management priorities.

“…Die Frage des am besten für die Hautantisepsis bei Frühgeborenen geeigneten Antiseptikums ist weiterhin ungelöst [107], wobei die Anwendung von Alkoholen mit schwerwiegenden unerwünschten Lokalreaktionen verbunden sein kann [108][109][110]. Povidonjod interferiert mit der Synthese von Schilddrüsenhormonen und ist daher kontraindiziert [111,112].…”

Skin antisepsis in the neonate

Abstract: Large multicentre trials are needed to determine the optimal antiseptic to use for neonates undergoing intensive care, especially for extremely preterm infants.
