Argyle™ Neonatal Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC Line) & Trays The Argyle™ PICC may be used to administer fluids for hydration and parenteral nutrition, as well as other common intravenous medications, in case where long term I.V administration is necessary standard for neonatal PICC insertions and PIVs. PICC post insertion complications are the lowest of all CVCs. 5. Complications can be avoided by using insertion and maintenance bundles, the proper device based on infant's weight and vein size, proper tip position, use of a securement device, and daily assessment of line function
Use of PICC lines PICC lines should largely be reserved for use with TPN or other 24h infusions. Bolus drugs and those given by intermittent infusion should be given via a peripheral cannula whenever possible. Full aseptic technique should be used for insertion of PICC lines Use a midline catheter or peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), instead of a short peripheral catheter, when the duration of IV therapy will likely exceed six days Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess and describe the practices involved in the insertion and maintenance of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in neonates in level III neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in the United States and to compare the findings with current recommendations and evidence. Subjects: The study included responses from 187 nurses, nurse. Medications administered intravenously in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are often less than 3 mL in volume. However, guidelines from manufacturers of neonatal peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines recommend the use of 5-mL syringes or larger to prevent potential rupture and/or fragmentation of the indwelling catheter because of high pressures. This article reviews [ Review major anatomical features of the neonatal vascular system. Identify steps of safe catheter insertion. Describe care and maintenance of catheters differentiating between polyurethane and silicone catheters. Recognize potential complications and risks associated with PICC lines. List the steps to take when removing the PICC catheter
You will need to care for the PICC, and for the skin around the catheter site. Proper care is important to prevent damage to the catheter, and to prevent infections. Change the bandage and injection caps every 3 to 7 days or as directed. Change the bandage any time it becomes wet, dirty, or moves out of place Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) o Benefits • Long-term access - dwell time varies (can be > one year) • Decreased length of stay in hospital -allows for IV therapy in non-acute settings, i.e., home care /hospice/ skilled nursing facility (SNF) • Cost effective compared to all other central VAD
Explain neonatal care and maintenance procedures acceptable for use with PICCs including flushing and dressing changes Recognize potential complications associated with the use of PICCs Ultrasound is strongly recommended as a safety component of PICC insertion OBJECTIVE: To compare the rates of catheter-associated bloodstream infection (CABSI) in preterm infants born at <30 weeks' gestation who received a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) versus an umbilical venous catheter (UVC) immediately after birth as their primary venous access. METHODS: This retrospective matched cohort study examined data from infants born at <30 weeks.
the position of PICC line, whereas in 26% cases, a 2nd X-ray was needed. 5-7% of the babies needed more than 2 X-rays for final confirmation of PICC line position following adjustment and fixing. Though true line associated infection occurred only in 7 cases, total of 63 neonates had a positive culture [blood/CSF/urine] PICC lines also have a potential risk of air embolism and thrombosis. Types of PICC The preferred choice of line will depend on infant and PICC line factors. The following PICC lines may be used in RPA NICU: 1. Vygon silicone 24G (2F) single lumen 30cm: This is the preferred line for all infants not requiring a second lume Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Lines: Information for Parents A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is a very thin intravenous (IV) catheter that is inserted in a vein in the arm, leg, or scalp of an infant. A PICC line is used in infants who will need total IV nutrition or medication for more than 7 days For the above reasons, radiographs for PICC line placement should be taken with the infant's limbs in the position that they will be in for most of the day (see table 1). Arm abducted. Advances in neonatal care : official journal of the National Association of Neonatal Nurses. 2002;2(6):304-15 A PICC line is a long, soft, plastic tube inserted into a large vein in the baby's arm or leg. 1 The line is guided up into a large vein near the heart where it can deliver medications such as antibiotics or chemotherapy) and/or total parental nutrition (TPN). The procedure for inserting a PICC line takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete

Neonatal intensive care is extremely expensive causing financial burden both on the family and the health care system. The global neonatal peripherally inserted central venous catheter market can be segmented based on type of PICC, end-user, and region A peripherally inserted central catheter, also known as a PICC (pronounced pick), is just one type of central venous catheter. While a PICC is never used for dialysis, it is commonly used to administer medications for patients, such as antibiotics or chemotherapy. Let's look at the similarities and differences between a CVC and a PICC. A peripherally inserted central catheter can stay in a patient's body 30 days or longer. Does Health Line offer a neonatal PICC line? Yes, our Bantam™ 1.9Fr PICC line kit is designed for neonatal patients Daily Checklist for Central Line Maintenance. See Attachment 1.

Infusions should be given via central or Percutaneous Intravenous Central Catheter (PICC) line as they can cause extensive tissue sloughing if extravasation occurs (infusion may commence in a peripheral line until the blood pressure improves to.
PICC lines are used extensively in the neonatal population. In most facilities, the majority of infants weighing less than 1000 grams and at less than 28 weeks gestation will have at least one, and in some cases several, PICC lines throughout their hospital stay. The direct introducer metho PICC Care. A PICC is a peripherally inserted central catheter. This special IV is placed into a large vein in the upper arm and sometimes in the leg of an infant. The end of the PICC ends in a vein close to the heart but not in the heart. The PICC can stay in place for several months. The PICC can be a single or double lumen line 1.3. Non-central catheter tip position associated with complications When the tip of PICC is not at the superior or inferior vena cava, it is called non central catheter tip position. The mid-clavicular tip position of central lines is more commonly associated with line infiltrations.4 In a study by Jain et al,4 non-central PICCs developed mor

One way the investigators could improve the safety of neonatal PICC lines is monitor them more closely. Current standard of care is to monitor PICC line tips on chest x-ray. Unfortunately, there is strong evidence that chest x-ray does not accurately identify the PICC line tip location. Another way would be to use POC ultrasound A 2.0 kg early-term infant with congenital heart disease required central venous catheter placement for persistent hypoglycaemia. A 1-French peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) was placed in the basilic vein of the left forearm and advanced to 13 cm, commensurate with expected appropriate depth given preprocedural measurements.
