| description | Objective Preterm babies are followed in neonatal intensive
care units (NICU) for long times, so
they need long-term vascular access. For long-term vascular access umbilical
vein catheters, central venous catheters and peripherally inserted central
catheters (PICC) are used. In present study we aimed to evaluate the clinical
features of newborn infants in whom PICC was inserted.Materials
and Methods The medical
records of the newborn infants in whom PICC had been inserted from June 2016 to
June 2019 are evaluated retrospectively. Demographic features of the patients,
reasons for PICC insertion, clinical features of the infants during PICC
insertion, and complications of the application are recorded.Results The data of 151 PICC that were inserted in 129
newborn infants were collected. Antibiotic treatment was needed because of
infections in 134 (88.7%) PICCs. In 72 (47.6%) of them sepsis was present
before PICC insertion, and in 17 (11.2%) after PICC insertion. No statistical difference was found in terms
of the frequency of occlusion, leak and/or thrombophlebitis between patients in
whom PICCs were inserted via the upper body veins and lower body veins, and
right veins and left veins (p gt;0.05).
Conclusion Our results indicate that
the PICC application significantly decreases the number of peripheral vascular
access attempts in newborn infants, long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and antibiotic administration becomes possible and insertion from
upper or lower extremity veins and right or left side veins does not affect the
frequency of complications. |
